Trying to imagine the soldiers who scaled these cliffs seems unthinkable! In World War II, on the morning of June 6th, Pointe du Hoc was one of the most daring operations of the Allied landings. This was a crucial German stronghold and you can explore the remnants of German bunkers, machine gun posts, and bomb craters that are now filled with wild flowers and bright green grass. Suffice it to say that this incredibly beautiful scenery is a very poignant testament to the courage and determination of those who fought here in battle. Managed by the American administration, like the nearby American cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, it is free to visit with ample parking. As of March 2026, they are currently doing construction around the parking. NO DOGS ALLOWED. I strongly suggest looking up the history of this incredible place as I cannot do justice to this very sacred piece of land, and YouTube has some great videos about it. God bless the troops and thank you for your sacrifices to fight for freedom, always! 3/12/26
