The Barquette Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This lock bridge in Carentan offers a beautiful view of the marsh landscapes. Its five flood gates close when the tide rises and open when it falls.

Km 00 Liberty Road

Highlight • Monument

The Freedom Route is a historic route which commemorates the Liberation of France but also that of Belgium and Luxembourg during the Second World War. The km 0 and 00 terminals of this Route are located in the Manche at Sainte-Mère-Eglise and Utah Beach.
The Way of Freedom was created on the initiative of Commander Guy de la Vasselais. Head of the French military tactical liaison mission near General Patton's 3rd American Army, Guy de la Vasselais received numerous medals at the Liberation. It was in 1946 that he decided to create a Freedom Route in tribute to the sacrifices of the men of the 3rd Army who came to liberate Europe.
The Road to Freedom follows the route taken by the Allies and the French army to liberate France and part of the Benelux.

Terminal :
In 1944 the USA had 48 states, the terminal will therefore have 48 stars to illustrate these states. The 4 colored rectangles represent the 4 portions of the Way of Freedom, namely:
- Sainte-Mère-Eglise/Cherbourg;
- Sainte-Mère-Eglise/Avranches;
- Avranches/Metz;
- Metz/Luxembourg/Bastogne.
Then, always faithful to American symbols, the central flame, representing the torch of Liberty emerging from the sea, is modeled on the flame of the Statue of Liberty.

Fort Ravenoville (19th century), built on an old square masonry redoubt dating from 1689. The enclosure as well as the old interior guardhouse have been profoundly modified. The remains of the vast "Widerstandsnest 14" next door date from the Nazi-German Atlantic Wall.
