Normandy Visitor Center Closure on April 13, 2017

Published April 12, 2017

Facilities, including the visitor center and restrooms at Normandy American Cemetery will be closed on Thursday, April 13, 2017 from 9:00 a.m. to noon due to utility work in the area. (This is the expected closure time. Be aware, it may be shorter or longer depending on how quickly the work is completed.) The cemetery grounds, including the plot area, the chapel, and the memorial area, will remain open to visitors during this time period.

Pointe du Hoc will not be affected. Located less than ten miles west of the cemetery, this historic D-Day site is free to access and no tickets are required.

We apologize for this closure, and we appreciate your understanding as we work to ensure you remain safe during your visit.
