The lovely beaches and bucolic landscapes and quiet are a world away from the horrors of battle and sacrifice which took pace there.

I’m repeatedly drawn back to Normandy as I find it all incomprehendable. Point du Hoc nearby to Longuevlle Cemetery with its cliffs and shattered landscape is quite horrific when you think of the determined US Rangers and Special Brigade scaling the sheer cliffs under intense fire.

Thanks Suzanne for such a well written and considered piece.

I’m the same knowing very little of the Canadian history. The best resource I can direct you to is the Juno Beach Center in Normandy – they have a plethora of information. From my film background, I can’t recall any that are Canadian in focus. If you want to see an incredible film, look for the German/Danish film “Land of Mine” – it’s haunting.

Hi Joyce – glad you joined your husband – I find the most memorable experiences are those we never expected and Normandy was unexpected in so many ways. I agree there’s so much to see that our quick cruise stop didn’t give us time so another visit is required. Cheers Sue

You are an excellent writer. As you know (maybe), I was also at Normandy that same day as you. All I can say is “WOW”. I didn’t expect to be ‘wowed’ by Normandy Beaches, the history, the original sites, the recreations. This tour was something my husband has his heart set on seeing. I thought I would just tag along with our small group. Was I ever shocked. That feeling you get when you tour Normandy, images in your mind what it was like almost 75 years ago. Nothing can prepare you. Words cannot describe the emotions. So much more to see and we look forward to returning to view more. Your pics are awesome too. Thank you!!

My hubby and I are WWII film fans and watch all the old movies and any new about the subject. Are there any Canadian films about that time period? Normandy is such a beautiful part of France it is always so hard to imagine the terrible atrocities that took place there.
