Standing on Omaha Beach and seeing the 9,000+ white crosses at the American Cemetery really puts things in perspective. We also visited the British cemetery at Bayeux and the Canadian site at Juno Beach. The Normandy aires are brilliant - many are free or €5-€10. We stayed at Port-en-Bessin, Arromanches, and Bayeux.
