Mémorial des Reporters de Bayeux, Press freedom memorial near British Military Cemetery in Bayeux, France.
The memorial consists of a landscaped path lined with white stones displaying the names of journalists who died while reporting since 1944.
The memorial, inaugurated in 2006, emerged from discussions during the Bayeux-Calvados War Correspondents Prize events commemorating D-Day's 50th anniversary.
The site hosts annual ceremonies in October during the Bayeux-Calvados War Correspondents Prize to add names of journalists who died that year.
Located on Boulevard Fabian Ware, the memorial offers free access throughout the year and includes an interactive terminal at the Normandy Battle Memorial Museum.
More than 2000 names are engraved on the stones, including Robert Capa, Marie Colvin, and the Charlie Hebdo attack victims.
