This splendid and timely book will be invaluable to those visiting the
battlefields, sites, museums, memorials and cemeteries of the D-Day
Normandy landings. It is intended for those planning and leading school
groups and similar parties but is also ideal for individual/family
visitors.
Rather than list every site, it provides realistic itineraries to the
best places in the Normandy area. Even these are flexible to allow party
leaders suitable discretion.
The author provides helpful information for each site such as its
context in the War, visitor orientation, the 'spiel' (the essential
facts to engage, inform and entertain), suggested activity and relevant
photos and maps.
This combines to make every visit of maximum benefit and interest and
yet reduce the workload of the party leaders.
There are also valuable tips for lunch breaks, free time ideas and other
helpful pointers.
