German Military Cemetery

The German Military Cemetery is located 8 km from Mont-St-Michel and I recommend making a detour to see it.


The cemetery is located on a small hill near the town of Huisnes-sur-Mer. 


The entrance reminded me of the gas chambers in the concentration camps in Germany.


The cemetery is very different from the cemeteries you see in Normandy. There is a circular building, housing over 11,956 German WW II soldiers brought from all over France.


The building has crypts, each containing the bones of 180 soldiers.
