D-Day (June 6, 1944) saw the largest and most complex amphibious invasion in world history when Allied armies landed on the beaches of Normandy to liberate Hitler's "Fortress Europe."

This dramatic day lives in the histories of all the nations that took part, and in the hearts of anyone who had a family member who played a part.

It's no surprise that, three-quarters of a century later, visitors still come to see where it happened, and to honor those who fought here.

Your visit to the D-Day beaches can easily include other stops in the delightful French regions of Normandy and Brittany.
