angie999 is an unknown quantity at this point
If you get to the American sector, Omaha Beach is impressive, but remember that the sea wall etc. is different now than in 1944. The museum at Utah Beach is quite good and on a nice day, it is a good beach for a walk, as it is not developed.

Sainte Maire Eglise is very tacky and commercially very exploited. Best avoided.

The Holts battlefield guide is quite good to have in the car and to help you plan a route.
