Elaborate WW2 Museum at Caen, but the most impressive and unmissable sights are the countless British Commonweath cemeteries and memorials throughout Normandy...as well as French, Polish and others....even German. You see the signs, or just bump into small cemeteries in the middle of fieds, wherever, because unlike Americans, who mostly choose to return the bodies home, the British tradition is to bury the dead where the battle occurred.
