    This was a great stop to kick off our group tour of Normandy. The British guide really knew how to engage the kids and make the tour educational and interesting. Highly recommend this museum.
  • By Brian Granger
    Lots of well preserved historical items, much detail written in French and English everywhere. Definitely a recommended visit. Also, the original bride when replaced was moved to the site of the museum and it has some bullet holes and ricochet points also.
