ABMC would like to advise visitors who plan to visit the Pointe Du Hoc Ranger Monument that the site is going through a major restoration project that will last until mid-2027.
This project aims to modernize pathways to ensure visitor safety in the face of erosion and preserve Pointe du Hoc for future generations. It includes the renovation of the parking lot, the welcome plaza, the visitor center, and the Memorial plaza, which will become the heart of the site.
Please know that welcoming visitors in the safest way possible and ensuring the preservation of this unique historic site are of utmost importance.
While ABMC is committed to maintaining access during the work, visitors should note the following changes:
Parking: There will be disruptions to the visitor parking areas. Alternative parking areas will be available but will be limited. Please adhere to posted signage for vehicle traffic, and park only in designated areas.
Pedestrian paths: Pedestrian access will be routed around the construction area. Please adhere to posted signage for pedestrian traffic and remain clear of the marked construction site.
Visitor Center: The visitor center will be closed starting March 9, 2026. Staff will be available at a welcome point near the provisional parking lot to assist visitors and answer questions
Historic site: Parts of the historic site, including pathways and bunkers, will be closed starting in mid-May 2026. Historic site access will be along the west pathway only. Those pathways that remain open to the public will be clearly marked.
Hours of operations will remain unchanged: 9 a.m. 5 p.m., daily. ABMC guides will be roving around the site to help visitors and share information about the site. Seasonally, we will also offer interpretive talks and tours; these will be announced via ABMC's social media and signage at Pointe du Hoc.
If you have any questions, please contact our staff directly at +33 (0)2 31 51 62 00 or send an email to NormandyVisits@abmc.gov.
