Museum in Colleville-sur-Mer, offering a new anecdote and piece of history that Pierre-Louis has unearthed

It's not as modern as some of the others in the region, but it's undeniably one of the best! We love to come back in search of a new anecdote, a little piece of history that Pierre-Louis Gosselin has unearthed. This passionate scholar fell in love with the Big Red One (1st US Infantry Division) - one of the first to set foot on Omaha Beach on the morning of June 6, 1944 - during a school trip to the United States. The Big Red One Museum was born of this romance, and has now been open for over twenty years!

I still think fondly about our visit here on May 14, 2014. We had the pleasure of stopping at the “Big Red One Assault Museum” on our way to L'Arromanches, and I must say, it is an unsung gem of a place. The museum is filled with rich history and poignant exhibits that pay tribute to the bravery of the soldiers who fought during the D-Day invasion. The owner, Pierre is incredibly knowledgeable and shared inspiring stories, including a few words in memory of my father, Danny, who landed there. This personal touch made the visit even more meaningful. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by to experience this hidden treasure and honor the legacy of those who served and liberated Europe on June 6, 1944.

Génial, incontournable, des explications données par son guide et propriétaire; Pierre-Louis Gosselin pour chaque pièce d'exposition, chacune exceptionnelle et ayant son histoire.
Une présentation de qualité qui régale les yeux, on se plonge vraiment, le temps d'une visite, dans l'histoire du Débarquement de Normandie à Omaha Beach.
Merci encore à lui, expérience à renouveler !
