During bad weather conditions, it is sometimes temporarily forbidden to walk on the lawns of certain squares of the American Cemetery of Colleville-sur-Mer (plots surrounded by ropes).
We thank you not to cross these boundaries, even if, and we understand this well (especially for those who come from far away), it can be frustrating not to lay the flowers at the foot of the tombs: failing this, depositing them along the boundaries of the square concerned will have the same symbolic value and will not affect the integrity of the site. Let us think that there are hundreds of thousands of visitors every year (2 million may be reached in 2019) and it is our duty to respect these places.
