Located just a few kilometres from the D-Day landing beaches, and a stone's throw from the hotel, this is the only museum to devote 2,300 m\u00b2 to the Battle of Normandy, presenting the different phases and military operations of the summer of 1944.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Battle of Normandy Memorial Museum retraces the events that directly followed D-Day, the 77 days of fighting in the Battle of Normandy from 7 June to 29 August 1944.
It's a unique place to understand the strategic issues at stake and to learn about the lives of the soldiers who fought in Normandy, through numerous video projections, illustrated explanatory texts, displays of heavy equipment, weapons, uniforms and various objects, original maps and 3D \"model plans\".<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Bayeux British War Cemetery contains more than 4,000 graves of Commonwealth soldiers who fell in the Second World War.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Many of the soldiers buried in this cemetery died in the field hospital to the south-west of the town. Bayeux was little affected by the fighting, and served as a base for the British army during the Battle of Normandy.
Bayeux British War Cemetery also contains the graves of Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, South African, Polish, Russian, French, Czech, Italian and German soldiers.
The Battle of Normandy Memorial Museum is nearby, as is the Memorial to the more than 2,000 journalists and reporters who have lost their lives since 1944 while covering conflicts.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
