2 Best Sights in Arromanches-les-Bains, Normandy

This striking movie theater has a circular screen—actually nine curved screens synchronized to show a 20-minute film titled The 100 Days of the Battle of Normandy, which tells the story of the D-Day landings through previously unseen archival footage; the presentation comes courtesy of the team behind a popular French television series on the war, Apocalypse. The film is screened every 20 or 30 minutes, depending on attendance.

The first museum built to commemorate D-Day opened in 1954, but after 70 years, it was showing its age. In 2023, after a three-year construction program, a brand-new museum opened on a site next to the original building on Arromanches beach, where the Allied forces sited the legendary \"mulberry\" floating harbors to offload tanks, trucks, artillery, fuel, and supplies. The new museum features a scale model of this remarkable feat of construction, along with displays of original weapons, uniforms, and military vehicles.
