VIERVILLE-SUR-MER IN CALVADOS

Vierville-sur-Mer is a seaside resort in Calvados, in the heart of the Bessin region, just twenty kilometres from Bayeux and its famous tapestry. It is an emblematic place steeped in history. Ideally located on the D-Day landing beaches, and more specifically on the famous Omaha Beach, Vierville-sur-Mer is home to many poignant relics of the Second World War, witnesses of the 1944 landings including bunkers and batteries. It also offers incredible views over the English Channel. The Signal 0 monument, a tribute to the Allied troops, offers a breathtaking view of the beach.

Nearby, you can visit the D-Day Omaha Museum, which recounts the key events of D-Day, as well as the Colleville-sur-Mer American Cemetery and Pointe du Hoc, just 2 km from The Casino Hotel.

Nature lovers can discover the rich biodiversity of the surrounding cliffs on lovely walks along the long stretches of sand and the greenway that runs the length of the coastline.

Combining remembrance tourism and green tourism, Vierville-sur-Mer will delight history buffs and lovers of outdoor recreation and nature in Normandy.
