Americans, British, Canadians, no less than twelve nationalities, or more than 150 men, took part in Operation Neptune deployed on the beaches of Cotentin and Calvados.
After four years of occupation, this much-hoped-for D-Day would mark the start of the Battle of Normandy and put an end, after tough fighting, to the Second World War.
Every year, between the end of May and mid-June, the Bay of Cotentin becomes the scene of numerous events in tribute to the Allied soldiers who liberated France on June 6, 1944.
Here you will find the program of ceremonies and festivities proposed by town halls, associations, museums and other partners of the Tourist Office (reenactment camps, concerts, official ceremonies, vehicle parades, etc.)
