UFRT Day 3 : Normandy

Day three of our Ultimate French Road Trip was spent visiting the D-day beaches, museums and memorials in Normandy.  

Arromanches - This is where the artificial harbor known as Port Wilson was built.  During wartime it served as a base for Allied troops taking 600,000 tonnes of concrete and equipment across the Channel.  You can still see remnants of the bridges out in the ocean.
