About This Route

A deeply moving historic drive along the beaches where the course of WWII was changed. This coastal route from Ouistreham to Sainte-Mère-Église is relatively flat, following the low cliffs and wide sandy shores. You'll drive past Arromanches (with its artificial harbor remains), Omaha Beach, and the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer. A bucket-list trip for history enthusiasts that is gentle on old engines.
