Why Pointe du Hoc matters
Pointe du Hoc is a headland where American Rangers scaled cliffs on D-Day to reach a German gun battery. Bomb craters still pit the ground, and concrete bunkers remain. The sea views are dramatic. Walk the paths among the craters and bunkers, and take care near unfenced cliff edges.
Talking points
- The landscape still has bomb craters.
- Concrete bunkers remain.
- The clifftop views are dramatic.
