France's historic D-Day landing beaches in northern France are expected to be officially listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site at the end of July. The decision follows a lengthy nomination process for the region, which has been under consideration for nearly two decades.
In addition to the landing beaches themselves, the UNESCO nomination encompasses several key historic locations associated with the historic military operation. These include Pointe du Hoc, the German artillery battery at Longues-sur-Mer, and Port Mulvey.
