On June 6, 1944, more than 100,000 Allied troops, including 73,000 Americans, landed on the beaches of Normandy from bases in England, during the largest amphibious assault the world had ever seen. D-Day marked the beginning of the defeat of Germany and the end of World War II. Pay homage to these heroes, thousands of whom gave their lives, in 2014, the 70th anniversary of D-Day. This short break brings you from Paris to Caen, Bayeux and the Landing Beaches themselves.
