If you are using a Sat Nav please use the address: 13 Avenue Paul Poret, Ver-sur-Mer, 14114.\u00a0Vehicular access to the Memorial is from either Courseulles (to the East) or Arromanches (to the West) and along the D514 coast road in order to avoid approaching Ver-sur-Mer from the South.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The local roads are narrow and winding and, in some places, impassable for larger vehicles (coaches, camper vans or cars towing trailers). Therefore, please follow the local tourism signs as you get close to the Memorial rather than your Sat Nav.\u00a0The Memorial is accessible to cyclists by using the cycle path and there are cycle hoops to lock your bike to as cycles are not permitted within the Memorial itself.<\/p>\n<p>WHAT3WORDS: \/\/\/needy.hardest.reissues<\/p>\n<p><strong>Arromanches to Memorial<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-content-embed\">\n<div class=\"video-content-player\">\n<div class=\"video-content-embed\">\n<div class=\"video-content-player\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"1 - BNM - Arromanches to BNM_zoom.mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/643960814?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Ver-sur-Mer to Memorial<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-content-embed\">\n<div class=\"video-content-player\">\n<div class=\"video-content-embed\">\n<div class=\"video-content-player\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2 - BNM - Ver-sur-Mer to BNM_zoom.mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/643961304?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Parking<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">There is a fee of \u20ac3.50 for parking and tickets are valid all day. \u00a0The fee is payable at parking machines on site and all funds raised go directly towards the ongoing maintenance of the Memorial.
