On the 6th June the Zenith IMAX, Caen are showing a 40 minute 3D Documentary 'D-Day Normandy 1944'.

Tickets are FREE. I knew of 3 evening showings but they're full. However, when I contacted them they offered me a morning showing, which I snapped up - they're going VERY quickly.

If you want a ticket get in there now. Contact the Calvados General Council who will mail you the tickets - if there are any left...
