A breeze off the Channel pushes salt and spray through the van window as the driver eases out of Bayeux and onto narrow lanes that open to low, chalk cliffs and broad beaches. The guide speaks in measured tones; maps, names, and dates stitch the coastline together — Omaha’s sand, the rutted bocage, and the steep face of Pointe du Hoc where Rangers climbed into history.
