I've visited the area for a few years now - very moving. As Kim says, the museums around Arromanches are well worth a look, just be sure to arrive early - I went last year a month or so after the 60th anniversary events and found queues a mile long at most of the museums, the year before they were much quieter. Others worth a look include the "Memorial" museum in Caen, the Wurzburg radar at Douvres-le-Delivrande, and the surviving gun batteries. The Arromanches museum has large-scale models of the Mulberries built by Basset-Lowke many years ago - they still look most impressive.
