Just about every year, I get to run a tour to the Normandy Invasion Beaches which includes the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer. It is one of the least popular tours we run, but for me, it is the most profound and compelling trip I take, no matter that I have done it over a dozen times. In today's blog post, I will describe my experience in visiting the American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer.
June 6, 1944. It was 71 years ago today that "Operation Overlord" took place - the largest invasion in history. The Allies stormed the beach at Normandy, France. The Traveling Professor has had the opportunity to visit the Normandy Invasion Beaches and the American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer several times. We did it just two months ago upon a completion of a small group tour to Paris. In today's blog post, I will tell you more on how to visit the Normandy Invasion Beaches.
