A very good museum solely focusing on the taking of the bridge. The museum is not massive, but packed with memorabilia and information. The outside holds the actual bridge, planes, vehicles and information related to the bridge. The entrance fee was cheap. Highly recommend a visit.

What a surprisingly interesting and engaging museum! It may be small, but it’s perfectly formed, and rather than overwhelming you with endless information, the story is broken down into sections that are easy to follow and beautifully presented. The exhibits take you through the narrative in a way that feels poignant, thoughtful, and respectful, while still being very easy to digest. The subject of war is never simple to handle, and it’s all too easy for museums to become either too heavy or, on the other end of the scale, a little dry and uninspiring. What struck me here was how well balanced it is. Even if military history isn’t normally your area of interest (it isn't mine really, but I was travelling with people who wanted to go here), this museum has a way of drawing you in. It doesn’t shy away from the realities of what happened, but it never feels gratuitous, and the result is something that holds your attention from start to finish. There aren’t interactive exhibits in the modern sense - no touch screens or VR, no touchy feely stuff - but honestly, it doesn’t need them. The quality of the storytelling is strong enough that it captures your imagination on its own. If you’re visiting with children who are confident readers and have an interest in history, they’ll find plenty to keep them engaged too. The staff deserve a mention as well. They are bilingual, friendly, and incredibly cheerful, which adds to the welcoming feel of the museum. They clearly care about the story they’re helping to tell, and it makes the whole experience that bit more memorable. All in all, this is a real gem of a museum in the area. It tells such an important part of history with care and clarity, and I’d say it’s a must stop for anyone visiting Normandy. There was plenty of parking although we visited mid week in mid September, and even for camper vans, and don't forget to visit Cafe Gondre a 1 minute drive away to carry on the learning.

Well worth a visit to this museum. A real piece of history and interesting story. Free parking. Entrance ticket 9,50€. Have a wee coffee or beer at the cafe across the bridge. First house in France to be liberated in 1944.

A great memorial with plenty of informative displays with vehicles parked atound the grounds. They also have the original bridge and have also managed to rebuild a glider that was used to get troops into the area. There is plenty of parking close by and some of the memorials are a very short walk away. This was one of the best memorials I visited on my Normandy trip.

A must visit especially for those with an airborne background. A garden holds the original Pegasus bridge and other artifacts. Inside lots of memorabilia from those soldiers who were there. Very interesting.

Very emotional. Amazing how much is on display inside as well as out. Words can't do it justice. Highly recommended.

Merci Michel for a fantastic guided tour - he really brought the history to life. Great memorial museum, with lots of interesting items to see, both inside and out.

Staff is nice. Kinda expensive for the number of activities, surface. One of the major problems is that lots of elements are 8-12 but kids from 8-12 find it too boring, bring a friend or it’s gonna be tough to stay more than 30mins. Another one is that adults can’t go in bouncy castles and such which means that you can’t go with your toddler. There are premium rides that aren’t that interesting and games that are at 2€ which are way better than anything around but man, we already paid for something that lasts 30mins, even if time is unlimited. There’s a room where there are co-op games where you throw a ball on the wall, a projector displays the game on it, and that is the most interesting element overall if you are 2 and more. If you arrive at opening you have a hot beverage offered as an adult and that is raising the value for the money spent. Same thing for kids they can get an additional premium ride or an ice cream/popsicle. There’s a family room if you need to change a diaper. Bad note : kids restroom aren’t separated from hallway so anyone can see them doing their thing, I find it absurd those days : absolutely nothing protects them from the sight of other grow ups and opposite gender. I’ll still put 3 stars as for France it’s cool, but far from north America’s standards for the same cost.

Fantastic soft play, loads of different things for the kids to do. Very clean and well maintained. Would highly recommended

Fantastic soft play for our 4 & 11 year old, so many different activities, the monorail is a bit tight for a larger adult 😉. Friendly staff with good English, this is so much better than what we have in the UK! The kids loved it and it gave us a break 😬

Ideal place to take your toddler's when it's raining and camping in Normandy.

Great place for kids, many different games, at an affordable price

Nice place for kids

Nice indoor play ground, we hade bad weather and wanted the kids to enjoy themselves. Enough to do for different ages

Beautiful and touching glass vitrail in remembrance of N°4 Commandos ❤️

Beautiful and quiet , too many Nigerians and no police

It's a small church in Ouistreham, not much more to say about it.

Beautifull historical place

A good experance and a good meal

Very nice

Peaceful.

We didn't visit the top because we had just enjoyed a large meal nearby and that combined with the heat meant we couldn't face climbing the steps! However we enjoyed a walk around to view from the outside and there are a couple of info boards outside. There is a charge to visit.

An unusual visit at Ouistreham, during the. fête de la coquille Saint Jaques. Small, you leave feeling dizzy, but you can enjoy a pretty view of the harbour, the sea and the town.

The Lighthouse of Ouistreham, known as the "Phare de Ouistreham," is a charming maritime landmark located at the entrance of the Orne River estuary in Normandy, France. This lighthouse, built in the 19th century, stands as a sentinel over the picturesque coastline, offering stunning views of the English Channel and the surrounding area. Visitors to the lighthouse can appreciate its striking architecture, characterized by its white and red stripes that make it a distinctive sight against the backdrop of the sky and sea. The lighthouse serves not only as a navigational aid but also as a symbol of the region's rich maritime heritage. A visit to the Lighthouse of Ouistreham often includes a climb to the top, where guests are rewarded with panoramic views that stretch for miles. The experience is particularly captivating at sunset when the sky is ablaze with colors, creating a perfect photo opportunity. The surrounding area is also worth exploring, with beautiful beaches and walking paths that invite visitors to enjoy the natural beauty of the coastline. Additionally, the nearby town of Ouistreham offers charming cafes and shops, making it a great place to relax after a visit to the lighthouse. Overall, the Lighthouse of Ouistreham is a delightful destination for tourists and locals alike, combining historical significance, stunning vistas, and a peaceful atmosphere. Whether you're a history enthusiast, a photography lover, or simply looking to enjoy a day by the sea, this lighthouse is a treasured gem in Normandy.

Park at the lighthouse, and head away from the town, and around the estuary of the Orne river. A lovely, circuler, stroll that took us 1h15m

You get to see a lot if it's a good day, and it was for us. About 70 steps to get to the top, so it's a bit hard, but we managed to get to the top just fine. It's €3 a person to be able to get to the top.

It is not open every day. You can go inside and view Ouistrham from the top. Great experience.

Worth a stop

Lots of fresh fish and shell fish catch fresh that day. Not badly priced would recommend getting there earlier as in hotter days fish is left out in the heat.

Fresh seafood market, but can’t eat on the spot unfortunately.

Good food and a lot of choice. Only buy my fish there..

Amazing fresh seafood, oysters, lobsters, huge crabs, as well as lots of fish.

Nice Panini and Chips and short walk from port.

Fresh fish/seafood all year round

Great fish market

It took an hour for the pizza to be ready for pickup, but the Margherita and Vegetarian pizzas were nice. Lovely town to look around whilst waiting.

Very nice staff, pizza not greasy and just very tasty. Good crust. Would come here again

Excellent pizzas cooked to order, super friendly staff. Not a lot of space inside, but they made our family of 6 very welcome.

These guys are funny. 10mins for a pizza. Tasted great and in plenty of time for my ferry⛴️👍

(Translated by Google) I ordered a pizza to go. The phone reception was courteous. On site, only one employee answered when I said hello as I walked in (even though there were several of them, and they looked at me carefully when I walked in). The pizza was good. I recommend this pizzeria, even if it could be a little more polite (a must when you work in retail). (Original) J'ai pris une pizza à emporter. La réception par téléphone a été courtoise. Sur place,un seul employé répond lorsque je dis bonjour à mon entrée (alors qu'ils étaient plusieurs et qu'ils m'ont bien regardé lors de mon entrée). La pizza était bonne. Je recommande cette pizzeria même s'il faudrait faire un petit effort sur la politesse (la base quand on travaille dans le commerce)

(Translated by Google) Order placed at 8:30 p.m. with a request for delivery to a hotel. Waiting time estimated at 30 minutes, 20 minutes later, the delivery man had arrived. Very warm welcome on the phone and we were able to enjoy our delicious pizzas peacefully in our room. Thin and crispy crust pizzas, generous toppings. I highly recommend (Original) Commande passée à 20h30 avec une demande de livraison dans un hôtel. Temps d'attente estimée à 30 min, 20 min + tard, le livreur était arrivé. Accueil très chaleureux au téléphone et nous avons pu déguster nos délicieuses pizzas tranquillement dans notre chambre. Pizzas pâte fine et croustillante, garniture généreuse. Je recommande fortement

(Translated by Google) Warm welcome and great pizzas, I really like the dough which is a good compromise between finesse and softness, really very good, I recommend. (Original) Bon accueil et pizzas au top, j'aime beaucoup la pâte qui est un bon compromis entre finesse et moilleux, vraiment très bonne, je recommande.

Completely deserves the 5 star reviews!! The pizza was amazing, the service great, I only wish I spoke more french to chat with the lovely couple who own the place. I had the Normandy pizza, absolutely delicious!!

Really good. Don't expect 'cheap', don't expect corporate. Nice owner / waitress, very patient and unflustered. Food was good, pizza and Entricote. Beer was local pression. For two, i paid €51 for 2 mains and 2 drinks. No complaints

Totally awesome pizza restaurant! Stumbled across it when visiting Ouistreham whist looking for somewhere to eat. Owners / staff were the MOST accommodating and friendly people I’ve come across in the restaurant world and the pizzas are incredible! I had a Barcelona and my companion had a Mexicane. Our assessment was top of the food chain pizzas! Thank you Toscana

Just eaten here whilst we wait for your ferry. Great food, lovely staff, incredibly quick service. Would highly recommend and will happily use again.

fantastic food and very friendly service. definitely a place I want to return to. I could eat here every day.

Soggy pizza and very expensive drinks ....€8.50 for 125ml glass of wine and €9.50 for 500ml beer! Nice service but pizza mediocre and drinks prices astronomical!!!

Best pizza I've had in a long time and my dad's steak was magnificent!

Four of us enjoyed a good meal here - which was only marred by some really basic (but serious) mistakes, that we don’t feel were dealt with sufficiently well. Firstly, one of our party was brought the wrong starter - no real problem, it was eventually replaced with the right dish, but that’s not a mistake we’d expect in a restaurant charging these sorts of prices. Three of us sitting waiting to eat whilst our friend had nothing. Two fillet steaks, both ordered rare, were brought out well-done. The waitress had asked, in English, how we’d like them cooked, offering “rare” as an option. We said “yes, rare, thank you”. We established, without any fuss or argument that the poor waitress hadn’t actually understood what she’d offered us, and so the wrong instruction was given to the chef. We were offered new ones, one of which we accepted, the other we just ate anyway. Again, no problem, clearly just a linguistic error - but a pretty basic mistake for a restaurant of this kind. Had we suspected there would be an internal miscommunication, we would just have been sure to order in French. Unfortunately, around one of the steaks we then found a long piece of (cooked) cling film - a much more serious error which was very disappointing. By way of recompense, the three coffees we ordered were removed from the bill. Fair enough, but not really the level of gesture one would expect for the sorts of experience we had. One, or both, of the steaks should probably have been offered at no cost, at a minimum. Generally the food was very good, the service was very friendly and pleasant, if error-strewn. One can’t help feeling that were we locals, who the restaurant might hope return one day, we might have been treated differently.

Whenever we’re in Ouistreham, there’s only one restaurant we choose: La Voile Blanche. Its perfect location makes it ideal for a meal before boarding the Brittany Ferries. With beautiful views over the beach and sea, excellent food at very reasonable prices, and friendly service, it never disappoints. Well done to the Voile Blanche team – you always make our lunch a real treat!

Excellent location, service, produce and cooking. Scallops & Monkfish cooked perfectly with contemporary présentation. A must while waiting for the ferry at Ouistreham ☆☆☆☆☆

We love to come here and always have great experiences! Presentation is beautiful and dishes are pretty big, you won’t leave hungry!

Came here for an evening meal on Monday evening as it was one of the only places open. Lovely position close to beach, but unfortunately the view is spoilt by another building in front of it. Very formal service, with limited English. A good choice of food and wine but quite expensive. The quality of the food was good, not great and not a big quantity of food or wine. Overall a good experience but not cheap.

Very good restaurant. Friendly staff, good vibes and delicious food. The dessert was one of the best things i've ever had, not too 'sugary' yet so good. The tomato burrata was very original as well. We were a team and they had a menu printed specifically for us and we really appreciated that.

Reasonable food for a reasonable price. Very quick service in a very busy environment, perfect for us, as we were waiting for our ferry, but not somewhere I would necessarily choose for a relaxing meal. The staff were lovely, and it was overall pleasant

Bon steak frites

Nice spot for a lunch between hundreds of bottles of wine.

(Translated by Google) Large and cozy place with original decor, wide choice of beers, wines and spirits, friendly welcome, we tasted a good beer there and will come back with pleasure (Original) Lieu vaste et cosy à la déco originale, large choix de bières, vins et spiritueux, accueil sympathique, nous y avons dégusté une bonne bière et y reviendrons avec plaisir

(Translated by Google) We had a wonderful time at Vino Bistro Oeno this Wednesday! The service was truly excellent, with a very attentive and responsive waitress.

(Translated by Google) Very welcoming, spacious places. Beautiful atmosphere ideal for evenings with friends or family. Wide choice of drinks. The boards are pretty good. My only negative point, I came during the blind test evening. The music was much too loud which made discussions between table neighbors very complicated 😔😔 it's not very pleasant. (Original) Lieux très accueillantes spacieux. Belle ambiance idéale pour soirées entre amis ou en famille. Large choix de boissons . Les plaches sont plutôt bonnes. Mon seul point négatif., je suis venue lors de la soirée blind test. La musique était beaucoup trop forte ce qui rendait les discutions entre voisin de table très compliqué 😔😔 ce n est pas très agréable.

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit despite my need to use a walking stick, all four flights of stairs required the banister and great deal of care. But each of four levels was packed with exhibition in dual English and French.

For a war museum, it is not well presented from an educational perspective. The many artifacts are somewhat disorganized and displayed without much explanation; many items are not explained at all, which would be especially desirable for posters or other objects. The staff on site spoke only French, not English, but they were well informed about the artifacts when asked.

Very well preserved Bunker from WW2, get to see in every room within bunker, great original memorabilia during this period, allot of stairs and ladder to the roof top machine gun position, great views over the area, well worth a visit.

The bunker is laid out as it was 80yrs ago - visitors can see how did every room look like. Great storytelling, if you are reading comments here you should definitelly go!

The Musée du Mur de l’Atlantique (Le Grand Bunker) in Ouistreham is a fascinating and immersive World War II museum. Housed in an actual German bunker, it showcases five floors of carefully reconstructed rooms from machine rooms to communications centers filled with authentic artifacts, photos, and documents. It’s a place that truly brings history to life. If you’re driving through Normandy or have an interest in bunkers and coastal defenses. This is absolutely worth a stop. One of the highlights is climbing the stairs all the way to the top if you can. the view gives you a real sense of the scale and strategic importance of the Atlantic Wall. Overall, a must-visit for history buffs or anyone curious about this era. Well-organized, engaging and an experience you won’t forget.

This is a restored fire control post turned into a museum. Outside, you'll find the Saving Private Ryan landing craft and a few tanks plus a cannon. Tickets are cheap, they're around 8 Euros. You can climb up to the tower stairs (at your own risk, make sure to accompany your child if you bring them) and enjoy the view of Sword Beach. It has six floors with technical areas, like the engine room and ventilation system, a weapons room, living quarters including dorms and a medical room, a command center with a phone exchange, plus an observatory and a telemetry station. The cashier is very friendly, and there’s a small souvenir shop, where you can buy WW2 themed items. The restrooms are free and you can park around the area for free. For the museum to improve In the future, I've found these mistakes; Grammatical errors, mostly in English. Like instead of winter, there's written wibter. Instead of Wehrmacht, Wehrmarcht. I'm not entirely sure if the Mannequins are accurate. Example; German artillery officer looks like he has orange piping (that's for the Feldgendarmerie), but red piping (Artillery) on his cap. Also, repeating the information over and over again.... Another funny detail: German soldier wearing a gas mask while shooting... And why is there a bald soldier...? Otherwise, OK museum.

A fascinating survivor from World War II and the D-Day landings. The bunker is in remarkable condition, thanks largely to the fact that the German defenders here surrendered without much fuss! It has been lovingly preserved by the French since. The various rooms are filled with displays of weapons, clothing and other gear from the time. Our favourite part was the steep iron ladder which, fitness and agility permitting, can be climbed to access the top of the tower (at your own risk!) for great views of the town and the sea. Price at the time of visiting (October 2025) was €8.50 for adults, with concessions for children. Well worth a visit if you are staying in Ouistreham or have an hour or so to kill before your ferry.

Very beautiful and big sand beach

A really well thought out and maintained area of remembrance.

A wonderful tribute to those who fought, even at the cost of their lives

A really peaceful place with an amazing view on the sea. Thanks to the all the heroes of D-Day

Never forget

Nice resort area with a lot of historical interest. Cafes, restaurants, beach, museums, monuments, casino, leisure activities all combined yo ensure there is something for everyone. Good boardwalk on beach

Big beautiful beach offering multiple facilities including restaurants, cafes and public toilets. Great place for events such as the first ever Normandy Beach Race, 21 Sept 2019.

Beautiful family beach. Wonderful sceneries and plenty of activities to make a great for kids as well. It's safe, clean and well taken care of. Life savers on site.

Beautiful sandy beach. We were lucky to have visited when the Normandy Beach races were on. Lots of places to eat and drink and there's also horse riding and go karting.

Lovely place for a walk ( I was there in Autumn), for play etc. Great beach line. There are even deposit boxes for your belongings.

A beautiful beach, lovely short walk before boarding the Caen-Portsmouth ferry. Dog loved it, but check time of year to go on beach as pooches only allowed on out of summer season.

It's a lovely beach with a boardwalk. We visited it on our road trip from Paris to Cherbourg. There is free roadside parking except in the summer months. A great place for strolling.

Food stalls information shop beach's as far as you can see can't imagine our brave soldiers caught their way onto them

Nice camping car aire, electric, water. Near to port, can hear early morning ferry. Short walk to beach and town, small play ground and skateboard park near by. Approx 20min bike ride along canal to pegasus bridge

Boardwalk from the town leading to the beach which also doubles as a tribute to the D-day veterans who landed here.

Lovely place, very popular with people looking for some chill out time.

Good place nice restaurants and other food beach very clean shallow sea for little ones

Excellent 👌

the worst casino I’ve ever been! They are not respect people, and they refuse us to enter the casino because of a small back bag, they have no solution for that, and without any lockers…. The receptionist is a little bit aggressive. Never go there!

Fun place at the end of our trip. It has roulette, slots and black jack. No fee to enter but there is a two drink limit. They also do not exchange any foreign currency, euros only, but there are ATMs inside. Cashed in a little on roulette to end the night on a good note. We would go in again for certain.

I really enjoyed our short visit to Casino Barriere, Ouistreham. Doubled my money on the roulette wheel whilst my wife trebled hers. Mind you with a bottle of red wine (the cheapest) costing €38 we certainly needed to win - that's alot of money. White was a little more reasonable but still not cheap, not even really that reasonable. Turning €20 into €44 & €20 into €60 was rather enjoyable. Nice surrounds and a great location, really easy to find, and right next to the beach. Bright lights & atmosphere late into the night🌙. It's not big & is fairly busy, even quite late into the night. Good fun though as long as you don't lose your shirt 😉.

Didn’t recognise a UK driving license as ID as of Brixit. Wouldn’t let me in unless show my passport which was back at the hotel.

Friendly, and open later. Saturday till 3am Sunday

Super

great place

“Good ice cream, friendly people and they know some basic English words, which is very pleasant for a tourist.”

Waffles and crepes at the ⛱️ beach. Absolutely spot on

Fantastic snack-bar!!! Stopped off on a return from LeMans on a stag do, rapid service for 15, leaving us full and more than satisfied! Excellent value!

Good

(Translated by Google) New owners for 1 1/2 years. But not disappointed. Always very good, the kebab and fries. Great choice for a very reasonable price. Very good service, warm welcome, special mention to our waitress Maëva. I recommend during your walks on the beach. Well I modify a little, in fact they are all very friendly. The ice creams are very good too. For us blackcurrants and chestnuts. Just a shame that there are no longer fried sausages with real sausages, chippo and merguez (Original) Nouveaux propriétaires depuis 1 ans1/2. Mais pas déçus. Toujours très bon, le kebab frites. Du choix pour un prix très correct. Très bon service, bon accueil, mention particulière à notre serveuse Maëva. Je conseille lors de vos balades sur la plage.Bon je modifie un peu,en fait ils sont tous très aimables. Les glaces sont très bonnes aussi. Pour nous cassis et marrons. Juste dommage qu'il n y ai plus les saucisses frites avec de vraies saucisses, chippo et merguez

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. They made sure we had everything we needed and provided excellent service with a smile. The food was Excellent Everything was delicious, fresh, and well-prepared. I would definitely recommend it!”

An unforgettable seafood experience near Caen! La Moulerie exceeded all expectations. Nestled just outside Caen, this charming spot is a true gem for seafood lovers. The mussels were incredible—fresh, flavorful, and served in a variety of sauces that make it hard to choose a favorite (though the Roquefort one was out of this world!). The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. It felt like dining with friends. The atmosphere is cozy yet lively, perfect for a relaxed lunch or a romantic dinner. Prices are more than fair for the quality and portions. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Normandy, La Moulerie is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back!

Fantastic mussels and oysters, reeeeally good food and super fast service. High quality at an affordable price, I would recommend it!

The oysters were great. The Roquefort mussels had a delicious broth, but the mussels themselves apparently were not properly rinsed/washed as they were extremely gritty/silty. I had mussels 3 times in four days across Normandy, and La Moulerie was the only place I experienced this. It was an unfortunate mark on an otherwise good experience.

Good dining experience. Good ambience Good service. Good tasty mussels

Lovely staff, very friendly and helpful over a language barrier concerning allergens. The food was out of this world and reasonably priced. Very happy indeed, highly recommended.

Excellent food and helpful staff, great location

What a fantastic restaurant we queued up and got seated quickly. We had a lovely lady look after us. The menu was great and I had the foi gras to start followed by the entrecote with a cheese sauce shame they didn't have pepper sauce and vinegar. But apart from that great chips and the steak was delicious. I have to mention the fish and chips. The fish was so fresh and so we'll cooked it's probably the best fish I have ever had. I picked a normandy desert which came out as a sundae it was amazing and partnered up with one of the best Irish coffees ever you have to try one. If your in the area it's well worth a visit.

Absolutely shocking service. Partner asked for well done for his steak ash and it came out RAW. Food came far too fast for it to even be cooked right. Complained and the attitude was so bad trying to say we ordered it wrong. Won’t be attending again.

Great seafront location. The moules were excellent. Reasonably priced. Friendly staff. Definitely worth looking at if in the area for food.

Very nice staff, good food. Kids friendly. Superb location. What could you ask more after a windy walk on the beach. There is a playground for kids, very smart. Don't think twice if you are hungry with hungry kids:-)

The good is not very good, but also not very bad. What you'd expect. Service staff are very friendly and you are service very quickly, which I'd wager is a positive at the beach.

What a little gem!! We just had a lovely meal. Chicken supreme and a flank steak followed with creme brulee and pavlova and a couple of pints each. Lovely staff friendly and helpful. Just what we needed

This place is just the right place to be. Staff couldn't be more helpful. Food is tasty, plentiful & well priced. The location is the best in Ouistreham. The ambience is wonderful. Anyone who complains must have got out of the wrong side of bed this morning. We stay for a couple of nights each summer & this is where we eat - anywhere else is a compromise.

Its Sword Beach! Soak up the history and visit the museums near by you'll love it.

Well-kept area, interesting statuary, informative boards and a good cycle path to get there.

Did not stop long here. Due to a strict time schedule. As such did not get to see much. Out guide said you. Could spend a day there.

Lovely to visit one of the five famous DDay landing beaches. Today I guess it's just another beach, but when you are there & reflect on what happened here on 6th May 1944 it hits home & is very emotive.

This was our first Normandy Dday stop. Nice walk along the beach taking in the various memorials.

Just to stand on the beach where soldiers landed to free Europe, great memorial along the beach front.

Pretty beach with nice monuments.

A nice memorial to a brave man with an individual story. Only improvement I can suggest is for the plaque to be reprinted, as the lettering has worn off.

A humbling place, gone but not forgotten

Great man armed only with fully loaded bagpipes!

A very humbling and emotional statue to a brave and courageous man. One of thousands that landed on Sword beach in Normandy on 6th June some 75 years ago. Part of the Allied Force to start the beginning of the liberation of Europe Every one a hero. We shall not forget

This is a great tribute to one of the better stories from D Day. This piper has gone down in history for a great "feel good" moment in the midst of battles for the beaches and the Pegasus Bridge. A real folk hero.

Wonderful statue with great detail. Like all the Normandy memorials it is very thought provoking and tells a story. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

It's just a statue. Like many others in the area. Nothing notable. IMO, there should be a tank or something cool in these places to make them more interesting.

Overall, Plage de Ouistreham is a delightful destination for anyone looking to enjoy a day by the sea, engage in outdoor activities, or immerse themselves in the rich history of Normandy. Its combination of natural beauty, family-friendly amenities, and historical significance makes it a must-visit location on the Normandy coast.

The beach is ok , the sand is firm but easy to walk on, and there's a nice monument plus lots of seagulls (which I like). But there are a few downsides: the bathrooms are really dirty and smell bad, and if you come from Riva de Bella, the road has horse droppings and there aren’t any showers. They also ride horses along the shore, which leaves mess near the water. And if you’re not into swimming with algae, this might not be the best spot. That said, when the conditions are good, it’s a beautiful place to spend time.

Ouistreham was a pleasant surprise on our Road Trip through France. Loved the location, our holiday home, found an amazing restaurant (Le Phare) and a brillant bakery. The town has also a very charming walking street. It's leading to this wonderful beach here. At the busiest point (where the walking street leads you) it has some market and food stalls, some games and rides and a big ferries wheel. You can rent some gear for some beach and watersports as well. The beach is really wide and long. Very clean and well taken care of. Lots of life guards on duty makes it a safe spot. What lifts it from good to great is the wonderful boardwalk here leading west. It goes a long way, an easy flat walk. Suitable also for strollers, wheelchairs. And dogs too (not on the beach though in high season). You pass some charming beach huts and a good handful of very interesting war memorials. Take your time reading the info plates. There's something to learn. A great beach. Something for everybody. For beach bums, sporty people, walkers or history buffs. A great place to be. Came here every day before dinner.

Had a great time Fun beach Pretty clean

Great places for wind surf and all other wind sports. Will definitely come back with a better planning for activities. Great beach with large tide and history as well. Nit much sun in August was disappointing though.

I put five stars 🌟🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 cause this beach ⛱ is so beautiful and very calm. That day, the wind was cold and very fast, yet it was so refreshing. The view was magnificent, the light was shining and highlighting the scene. The waves crashing on the shore, beeing perfect for those who loves sliding sports. Crazy weather for a fun time. We did à real, good and contemplative walk 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️. I do really recommend. But if you go there in mars, remember to protect your self seriously, it is cold.

Beautiful Beach with nice white sand. Windy but that’s expected. Not too crowded.

Lovely small museum telling the story of the free French who trained to be commandos and fought on D-day. A lot packed into the area with 100's of artifacts. Very good 20 min film documentary. Member of staff very pleasant and put in the extra effort to give us additional information and guidance during our visit.

Well worth a visit to learn about this Commando unit. The woman running it was very friendly and informative about how the small museum was founded. D Day is a huge subject and its worth a deep dive into a small part of it to understand what the troops went through. Don't try to do all the big museums in one trip - do a major one and this one.

Would highly recommend visiting this lovely museum. The lady that worked here was an absolute machine. She would welcome visitors and at regular and welcome intervals would take time to further explain certain aspects. I liked this more than the nearby Grande Bunker museum.

This is one of the best museum along this coast line. The lady who gives the talks is incredible. Her passion and knowledge of each item is to be admired. A definite must!!

Small but lots of exhibits and detail. Interesting film which was very informative. I would recommend visiting.

Excellent & informative from veterans personal experience. We must never forget what they sacrificed for our freedom

Incredible. Awesome lady / curator who was so helpful and attentive. Totally recommend this museum.

Nice venue. Several things were unavailable but the service was nice and we enjoyed our meal. They initially brought me a blunt knife but that was correctly rectified. The sausage I had was very tasty. For a beach front venue the prices were very reasonable. A good place to relax and have a few drinks in the sun/shade.

Lovely Bar, Restaurant on the sea front. Great Views of the beach and sea. Friendly ladies who were waitressing. Good value meals cooked freshly and quick. Visited twice both times the same great friendly service

A lovely end to our holiday ! Friendly welcome and service . The oysters were delicious oysters and and the rillettes de sardines with crevettes were just the sort of tasty light meal we were looking for. We were then able to stroll along the beach and watch the sunset

Excellent food, high quality, reasonably priced. Friendly staff . Near the life guard station so a good place to swim prior to your visit. Also serve caipirinha which for me is a delight.

This was a surprising little find on the beach. We went here for dinner and it was delicious. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was lovely. The fish and chips, which is not at all like English fish and chips (which was a good thing) was excellent and the salad that my wife had was also excellent. We also had crêpes for dessert and they were cooked fresh and were really good. The service was also very good and the staff were very quick in serving us and getting us our food. All in all an excellent place with a nice setting, good food and friendly helpful staff.

Great informal place to have delicious seafood and watch the sun go down with chill out music. Fantastic seafood platter and had extra oysters as they were so delicious. Great chilled glasses of white wine. Cafe gourmand to finish off- rude not to. Superb. Looking forward to returning.

Lovely place, but never got a chance to order. Waited at our seats for 5min. Went to the bar to get service to hear they would come around. Waited another 10 minutes. 3 waitresses standing at the bar, waiting with their backs to theirs customers. We were not the only people leaving without ever getting a chance to order.

Second time that we have stayed here. Rooms are tiny as is the free roadside parking, when that is full you pay to park in the gated carpark. Breakfast is okay, but simple. Not a patch on other Ibis Styles hotels around the country.

A handy stop off if getting to Ouistreham late on the ferry. Dogs welcomed, staff friendly, secure off road parking, room definitely on the basic side and a bit tired but overall fine and breakfast was lovely. We would stay again for sure.

Good place to stay if you want to go on the ferry or have just got off one but that's about it. You have no choice of food in the evening and scrambled egg or beans for your cooked breakfast. The rooms, sorry (cabins) as they are called are so small you need to book an appointment to get past each other to use the bathroom etc.

The hotel is mainly used by ferry passengers as it is next to the terminal and very convenient for the night before early morning departure or late evening arrival. Rooms are small and basic but clean. A good buffet reakfast is from 6am. No evening restaurant but plenty nearby.

We felt welcome as soon as we arrived, rooms were ready before check-in time. Rooms are just fine, bed is comfy. They get rather warm but a fan is provided. I can guess rooms facing the sea can get a bit noisy with traffic. Location is excellent for the car ferry, harbour restaurants and the beach and pedestrian street with shops and restaurants, 10 min walk to the latter two, less for the harbour. Breakfast I’d say is continental plus, simple but there are things to eat for all, even you can press your own fresh orange juice. Parking is free outside the hotel, in the secured car park it costs 5.50 euros. Very friendly and welcoming staff. We left an item behind and they even called me after to let me know - very unusual for hotel staff I’d say. Would definitely stay here again in Ouistreham.

Clean, bright, RIGHT next to the ferry and the staff were friendly and helpful. I would 100000% stay again.

Very hot, no air con - wrong time of year!

Reasonable value for money. Friendly service.

Stopped here to get a bite to eat whilst waiting for a ferry. Lovely location, lots of history on these beaches and you can still see loads of evidence of battles and fire fights that when on. What looks like a small basic place, the food was amazing! Chicken was so tasty and moist. Staff were helpful and friendly - I'm glad their English is better than my French. There's no indoor seating but tables and chairs outside so provided the weather is ok it's a definite place to grab a bite to eat. Pricing was very reasonable too. My reviews are my own personal opinion and always honest.

I love the place the food, and all , the kabab is the best , very well done .

the restaurant is small, there is only outside seating. we ordered kebab and friet sandwich, libanijs kebab wrap, everything was delicious, quality of bread, meat and sauce was good. the price is cheap. we really enjoyed!

Pretty good, not great but spoke some English and was fast

Excellent

Lovely food and atmosphere

Wonderful little place next to the marina. The food is simple and delicious. The people who wait on you are the owners and they are very friendly and professional. One of my favorite places in Ouistreham!

We found this lovely quiet restaurant by the marina. The food was great, and the owners were lovely and hospitable. It was a nice place to stop off before catching the ferry.

A great little cafe, busy but friendly. Sensible prices. They will even take bread and croissant orders for the morning. Great find.

Super cozy little bar/restaurant. Very friendly couple, and the food is really good.

My meal was lovely the service was great. Thank you. Beautiful spot for a meal.

amazing. fresh, delicious, serving is very nice and service itself is very pleasant. have to say that location is also absolutely lovely

Seated 20minutes at the table while waiting just to have the menu. IDK how long more we would have waited if we stayed more but we decided to leave. Only one person for the service hence it is really slow… too bad it looks tasty and the landscape is nice.
