Pointe du Hoc

As part of our Normandy beach tour, we stopped at Pointe du Hoc. This is the place the Marines scaled up the cliffs to. It's still pockmarked with artillery shell holes and bunker remains. But it's not the same as when we went about ten years ago. There are these nice plaques, for one. They weren't here before. They show the landing beaches and why this area was so important.
