Summary
The study highlights the significant role of karst landscapes in Lower Normandy, France, as both historical landmarks and drivers for regional tourism, particularly tied to D-Day's World War II legacy. Through theoretical analysis and fieldwork, researchers observed how strategic sites—such as landing beaches, cemeteries, and museums—are leveraged to promote historical and cultural tourism while preserving memory. The findings underscore the potential of integrating geomorphological features with heritage narratives to foster sustainable regional development.
