The D-Day beaches: a symbol of freedom
With its D-Day beaches and numerous relics, Normandy still bears traces of its remarkable past. By staying at Castel Camping Le Brévedent, you are ideally placed to explore these historic sites. From open-air museums to forgotten blockhouses, each site provides a poignant insight into the region’s collective memory.
Open-air museums and memorial trails
There are numerous signposted routes guiding you through fields and forests where traces of the Atlantic Wall can still be seen. At Arromanches, the remains of the artificial harbour can be seen at low tide. The American cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer is an important place of remembrance.


The lesser-known relics inland
Hidden in the woods and villages of the hinterland, the bunkers are less well-known but just as fascinating. In Saint-Désir near Lisieux and Montormel, you can explore the sites of the liberation of the Pays d’Auge, complete with viewpoints and information panels. These places offer a more intimate and moving perspective on history.
Historical immersion for all the family
Many sites are accessible to children and offer interactive tours. The D-Day museums and the Merville Battery have models, reconstructions and fun trails. It’s a great way to learn about history while enjoying an exciting day out. Some locations even organise workshops or scavenger hunts, making the experience both playful and educational.


Nature marked by history
These places of remembrance are often set in unspoilt landscapes. Walks along the seafront, forest paths or green hills offer a peaceful way to discover these traces of the past, combining emotion, culture and Normandy nature. The contrast between the serenity of these places and the intensity of their history makes the experience all the more memorable.
