A famous and important location for the D-day landings. The original is in a nearby museum (entry fee for this but can be seen from the road) We happened to be there when the was closed and opened. As this is a working bridge, free to visit and walk/drive across. First and first house free from the Germans after the beach landings. Worth a visit. Originally Benouville Bridge, Pegasus is a must-see road-crossing of the Caen Canal famous as the first allied target on D-Day 6 June 1944. Adjacent is Cafe Gondree, the first French house liberated. The original is the centrepiece of the nearby Pegasus Memorial Museum. Street parking nearby and (obviously) free to visit/drive across (you’ll do this if you continue to Merville Gun Battery). Very interesting and well laid out museum. Short film inside, in various languages as well Another great memorial. The museum is well worth a visit as the original is now displayed within the grounds. Plenty of free parking and several excellent restaurants. Easy to get to and well worth the effort! Third time we've been here. There is a wonderful feeling of serenity around the lake, totally at odds with its past. Makes a great day out. Very informative museum. Part of our tour of the Normandy DD beaches. Truly worthwhile as you can appreciate the bravery and skill of the Glider Pilots to get so close to the and hold until relieved. There is also the cafe, which is the first building in a France to be liberated. Excellent museum. Interesting and not just because of the cafe, and their place in WW2 history.
