I'm not sure this is in the right place, but we are planning on visiting Normandy specifically to attend some of the commemorations on 5/6th June, including the paratroop drop at Ranville. However I seem to remember reading about a 'guided' walk from Varaville to Merville Battery that takes place during the night. Is my memory correct, and does this still take place?
not sure if this is what you mean The Merville Battery Walk for the 72nd D-Day Anniversary with Shaun Coldicutt
That walk sounds great but it was a on-off unfortunately. The attached, organised by France 44 is more what I was thinking of but the article is from 2015.
Just back from Normandy and managed to find what we were looking for! A thoroughly enjoyable and informative 7km walk circum-navigating DZ V and the surrounding lanes of Merville Battery with stands and points of interest along the way organised by Association France 44. I believe they also organise a walk from Sword beach to Amfreville. A big thank you to these guys for all the effort they put in. The photo is taken outside the church at Gonneville. We were also lucky (not) to bump into a Sherman on the outskirts of Creully! I have never seen a working Sherman before, especially being driven down a country lane!
