Coudehard-Montormel Memorial, World War II memorial on Hill 262 in Normandy, France
The Coudehard-Montormel Memorial stands on Hill 262, offering views over the Dives Valley where crucial battles of the Normandy Campaign occurred.
The memorial marks the location where Allied forces closed the Falaise Pocket on August 21, 1944, leading to the German retreat from Normandy.
The monument and museum preserve memories of Polish, Canadian, American, and British soldiers who fought together during the Battle of Normandy.
From May through August, visitors can explore the memorial and its exhibitions between 9:30 AM and 6:00 PM with guided tours available.
