Visiting Normandy Beaches for the First Time | 3-Day Itinerary 

Great to see appreciation for the British and Canadian beaches and museums 👍

The guy hanging from the steeple was Pvt. John Steele. His story was told in the book and movie The Longest Day. In the movie, he was played by Red Buttons.

Good work. Deserves a higher ranking in RU-vid, to be honest.

Great video! Thank you so much and will definitely use your tips for our trip this Summer!

Thank you for this video, very informative

Thank you for this video!

I really appreciate the fast editing getting right to the point in your commentary. Thank you!

Très bon!!!

y’all deserve much more subs

My wife and I going next June... Great video!

Really under subscribed channel. That's a really neat trip idea

we are planning a similar trip to the area.. good video

Good video. Going soon with a buddy and will revisit this video nearer the time. Thank you

Underrated video

This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!

we are subscribed.. we booked airfare for July. reviewing your video again.

We did an 8 video series tour of all the same places in Normandy. Such a special place 👍🏻

Great video, very educated, love it! I suggest saying « the Allies » rather than « the Americans », and « rescue democratic governments » rather than « save democracy », do you see what I mean? To avoid the Good/ Evil rhetoric. I think of how it impacts how we view the current conflicts

Great channel! How have I not subbed sooner? Subbed!

Nice video. Very helpful. One correction, if I may.... Perhaps you're right about Ike eating at that place (3:13 in your video), but the picture you show is of Omar Bradley.

Great video guys. Very informative. Looking to visit Normandy in May, but really need to get away, and as soon as Australia allows outward travel (literally locked in since March 2020) I'll head over there. Cross fingers ban lifted by end of 2021, so maybe Feb 2022 I'll be in Normandy and following your footsteps. The Castle looks awesome to stay at too.

Not been yet but the Mulberry harbours were a brilliant invention. At the Point - the scaling American Rangers didn’t find any artillery, the Germans had moved the Guns only a week before.

I'd say that the Pegasus Bridge museum is unmissable. And, if you had time - Hillman.

I tried communicating with them in my best Louisiana creole, lol! Alas it was not enough, though they understood all the root words, however, luckily I happened to cross paths with a Haitian man in Marseille, and we were able to talk to one another, he missed his calling because he turned out to be a great tour guide! I usually avoid war memorials or military tributaries no matter where in the world I am, I think they are depressing & the energy is oppressive, especially the ones in Japan, Korea & the Philippines, not something I want on my mind while vacationing. But Normandy is a beautiful area.

What's the name of that chateau that's cheaper than the Holiday Inn?

Can i reupload your video?

Beautiful castle stay. I looked it up and it said it was closed now 2024. I'd love to stay here

June 06 my birth day

How much to rent a car?

Great Video. Do you know where to rent a car, and do they rent automatic transmissions? Thank you

May I ask which company you rented the car from? and if you were satisfied with that company? my girlfriend and I are planning to go to Normandy and we don't want to rent a car from some thieves :D

Sword? Juno? Gold beaches ? Pegasus Bridge? Hillman Bunker? Merville Battery? Did I miss them in the video?

Can you share the link to where you stayed? Or the name?

Views are much short !!

Oof, to my intense regret, I had to give up 1:22 into this video - not because I wanted to! It seems like a really informative and to-the-point video, which is great! - but the "shaky cam" effect and the rapid cuts made me literally dizzy and I ended up feeling sort of nauseous. Maybe I'm just getting old...

what about this accent maybe he think is talking french? its more lgermanic polish libanese? we don t know lol)

"Visiting Normandy Beaches..." It's a grand title that encompasses what took place there on 6th June 1944....but wait, where was mention of the British, the Canadians and the French who outnumbered the Americans? Where was mention made of the specialist tanks provided by the British? Where was mentioned the giant caissons designed, built and laid off the beaches by the British? According to the Mr Chris, this was the first day of the war - really? It might have been for the vainglorious Yanks, but the Brits and Canucks had been fighting for four years before D-Day! I don't have a problem with any country honouring its war dead, but I do have a problem when they glorify their own and don't give their allies a mention. However, most Americans are blind to the efforts of everyone but themselves - it's why I use the term "Vainglorious." Being American, you can guarantee that they know all about Saving Private Ryan, and Band of Brothers, because movies are all they know, while the realities of war they've never thought about or learned. Ask an American what he/she knows about WW2, and the first thing they'll say is "Omaha." With a bit of prodding they'll add "Utah," and perhaps given enough time they might mention Bastogne. Ask them about WW1 and they either have a blank stare, or even say "Wasn't that a war between the US and Germany?" Ignorant people, vainglorious people, and people who think Normandy/D-Day was all about Americans. They love to see their US flag flying in a foreign land, but totally ignore all the other nations' flags - which they mostly wouldn't recognise anyway! What was it the girl said? - "US troops had the highest casualties." Well actually, in terms of unit numbers, pro-rata the Canadians had the highest casualty rate. The Americans at Omaha had a hard day - a day that would have been a lot easier if their commanders had used the specialist tanks offered by the British; but the Yanks didn't like them, and wanted to do their own thing. As most military historians agree, it was a wrong decision which cost them dearly. So this particular video is little different to the many others produced by Americans. Normandy/D-Day was not an all-American invasion; in fact the British and Canadians where the first to gain their objectives while the US were still trying to get off the beach. It really is past the time when Americans began to realise that they were not the sole winners of the invasion, nor was it on their efforts alone. The big difference between the Americans and Allies, is that the Allies have never bragged about their successes. Another difference is that the British and her Commonwealth Allies never forget to honour EVERYONE - something the Yanks rarely do! So this video is not about the Normandy Beaches, it's all about the Americans at Omaha. Call it what it is, and not hide it under a false title.

Not the American but allies

if only we could learn from history, Jesus Christ, the only way to the kingdom of heaven, freedom from sin, live and obey Him all the way to the end.

Too erratic.

Content is good but I couldn't watch it cuz too much camera shifting

Nice video, but... no! the Anglo-Americans didn't come to France to save democracy or the freedom of the people. They landed at Stalin's request to open a second front to relieve the Red Army...

i m sick to look videos too quick
