History buffs should make a beeline to the site of the Normandy landings on D-Day. Start with a trip to the Memorial Museum in town for context, then head to the beach itself. Walk down to the waterline and turn around for a first-person view of the Allied soldiers’ perspective upon coming ashore. The experience is a sobering one, but not to be missed.
