Question

Where to see World War II monuments in France?

Answer 1

the best place i know of in france is Normandy...im not wholly sure on the whole history but i thinks its where the brits landed to start attacking the germans that occupied France...the beaches have some of the old guns and everything on them..my dad is a big war buff and whenever hes in france this is where he goes

Answer 2

Near Avranches in Normandy, but also on all the atlantic coast. and in Lorraine and Alsace : la ligne Maginot

Answer 3

Normandy will have the best ones in general because of the D-Day landings, but most places in France have some sort of WWII monument in town.  Most larger cities will have some sort of museum about WWII.  The two most interesting I have seen outside of Normandy is one in Grenoble (I can't remember if the museum had stuff in English or not, focused on the resistance and the deportation of people in occupied and Vichy France) and one in Reims (the actual place that the Germans signed for surrender at the end of WWII in Europe).

Answer 4

Northeastern France is full of them, Belgium too.

Answer 5

You can find plenty of monuments, museums and cemetaries in Normandy where the Allied landed. Here is a list .

This is far from all as the French are grateful to the Allied troupes and you will find plenty more scattered between Normandy and Germany and South of France (second landing) and Germany. However between Paris and Germany you will find many more WW1 monuments as this is where they fought for four years.
