Breathtaking view of the Marais de l'Angle

Highlight • Other

To see the phenomenon of the white marshes, you have to go there in winter (January - February - March for example). The roads can be greasy and / or flooded, mudguards are good to have. Otherwise beautiful region pleasant and calm to do also the rest of the time.

Utah Beach Museum

Highlight • Monument

Utah Beach is one of the five beaches of the Normandy landings of June 6, 1944. In comparison to Omaha Beach which was catastrophic on a human level and which was nicknamed "the bloody one", the landing of Utah Beach was a real success.

In the first twelve hours of the operation, 23,250 men, 1,700 combat vehicles and 1,695 tons of supplies will be landed on this beach.

You will learn all this and more by visiting this very interesting museum in more detail.

Utah Beach

Highlight • Beach

The tranquility of this beach makes it difficult to imagine the events of June 1944. The armored vehicles and soldiers of that time have made way for oyster beds, birds and walkers.

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.
