I've never been to France; just flown over it several times. There are battlefield tour maps which give routes and landmarks for visitors to find things on their own. Someone smarter than me will know more specifics to advise.

I would suggest deciding on which part of the region is important for you will narrow your considerations. The American side, the British beaches, or the Canadian portion? The breakout areas? Or, the major battles?
