The Château de Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte is a castle dating from the 11th century. Sacked twice during the Hundred Years War, it is now in ruins. Although not as impressive as some castles that are still intact, this castle is open to the public and very accessible. It is a wonderful place to visit.

Sainte-Mère-Église Church

Highlight • Religious Site

During the night of June 5, 1944. A fire raged in this village. Everyone helps put out the fire. The light of the fire was then interpreted by an American plane pilot as being a sign that these passengers had been released. American paratroopers land by mistake in the town.

One of the paratroopers is carried by his parachute onto the church tower where he remains hanging for hours, while the fighting rages below him. This is one of the most incongruous stories of the landing of June 6, 1944. You discover this in this town that has become legendary for history buffs.
