REMEMBRANCE T OURISM GUIDE 2 019


As France prepares to host commemorative events to mark the 75th anniversary of the D-Day Landings on Normandy’s beaches, we look at the events of June 6, 1944, and present a guide to the cemeteries, memorials and museums to visit this summer. We also feature a guide to the key commemorative places in which to pay your respects to the dead and missing from the First World War – one year on from the centenary of the end of hostilities.
