France 2015 - Day 3 - Battle of Normandy Museum Bayeux

This morning I was of to the Memorial Museum of the Battle of Normandy while Jo went to the Bayeux Tapestry Museum.






The Memorial Museum of the Battle of Normandy is located next to the British military cemetery in Bayeux. The museum shows, step by step, how the Allies battled the German forces for ten weeks, from the Allied landings on D-Day until the withdrawal of the Germans beyond the River Seine.
