Shred, don't forget to visit Pointe du Hoc, Pegasus Bridge, and St. Mere Gliese. You have to see those places... amazing.
While you're in Arras, they have a city center market. The cheese is fantastic. Take your time at each location, they are somber and offer a true sense of respect for those that gave all.
Have a great time. When I did that tour, I was in awe the whole length.
All the best...
James
