Caen: Memorial Museum Ticket & D-Day Landings Audio Guide

Step into WWII history

Start your journey at the Caen Memorial Museum, where your ticket lets you dive straight into powerful exhibits that bring World War II to life. Know what life was like in occupied France, the rise of the Vichy regime, and the early warning signs of genocide and the Holocaust. An English and French audio guide provides deeper insights into each exhibit.

One of the museum’s most striking highlights is a visit to an underground bunker once used by a German general— the very nerve center of D-Day’s defense. The collection also extends beyond WWII, exploring the origins of the Cold War and the fragile pursuit of peace.

Walk in the footsteps of history

Your experience doesn’t end at the museum. With a digital map and audio guide, embark on a self-guided tour of 21 key D-Day sites. Stand where history was made on Omaha Beach, uncover the story of the Dieppe raid, and witness the remnants of war in Arromanches. With the freedom to explore at your own pace, each stop offers a deeper connection to the past.
