Do find time to visit

I've just read some of the other reviews and there's nothing I can add. I walked a short way along the new promenade and my mind played tricks on me. Very moving.

Impressive

Overlooking Sword beach, this is a quality monument to the liberation of France. There is also a statue of Lord Lovet, famous for marching from here to Pegasus bridge with his family piper, Bill Mullins, whilst under fire.

Having just been around the Free French commando museum, coming across this memorial to D-day was poignant. The thought that, in June 1944, this beach that was full of people enjoying themselves was a bloody hell. Very simple, it reminded you of the courage of...More

A good place to remember

The beaches here are beautiful and lovely. But it is good to remember that they have a history too. This monument is one of the places to do just that.
