点评:This was a visit we simply had to make, having seen the scale of it during the celebrations last year, and it did not disappoint. The memorial brings home the sheer scale of the event with 334 pillars of more than 22,000 names. Its is so very tastefully done. The 'Standing with Giants' exhibit is the field between the memorial and the beach is, in many ways better than the memorial itself. Almost 3000 'soldiers' spread around the field make you feel as though they are real people really there and that you are among them. It is very emotional.
The memorial is easy to get to, and an easy drive west of Caen. There is a fee for parking - which goes towards the upkeep of the site - but otherwise entry is free to both the memorial and the adjacent small exhibition room. There is a small café which is good and not overly expensive.
翻译:去年的庆祝活动规模宏大,我们不得不来参观,这次参观果然没有让我们失望。纪念碑上334根柱子上刻着超过22000个名字,充分展现了这场盛事的规模。它设计得非常精美。纪念碑和海滩之间的空地上,“与巨人站在一起”的展览在很多方面都比纪念碑本身更精彩。近3000名“士兵”散布在空地上,让你感觉他们就像真人一样,仿佛你就在他们中间。这让人非常感动。
纪念碑很容易到达,从卡昂向西驱车即可到达。停车需要付费,用于维护场地,但除此之外,纪念碑和毗邻的小型展厅均免费入场。博物馆内有一家小咖啡馆,味道不错,价格也不算贵。
