The Pointe du Hoc is one of the must-see places to visit on the Normandy landing beaches. Located between Omaha Beach and Utah Beach, it was the strategic point of the Atlantic Wall<\/strong> on the morning of June 6, 1944. This battle was so fierce that only 90 Rangers out of 225 were able to continue the Liberation.<\/p>\n

During your visit, you will see that these stigmata are still visible and discover an artillery battery, its fire direction post, as well as casemates and various shelters.<\/p>\n
