  • AIRBORNE MUSEUM ST MERE L' EGLISE

    http://www.airborne-museum.org/

    The Airborne Museum or Airborne Museum is a French museum dedicated to soldiers who came by gliders and American paratroopers from the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions, who were dropped in Normandy during the D-Day landings on the night of June 6, 1944. First place to visit concerning the Second World War in the Manche department, it is located in Sainte-Mère-Eglise, in Normandy.

    Airborne Museum, Freedom from the sky!
    A few kilometers from Utah Beach, the Airborne Museum in Sainte-Mère-Eglise is located on the church square where paratrooper John Steele hangs.

    Through its 4 buildings with modern, interactive and spectacular scenography, the museum guides you in the footsteps of the American paratroopers on D-Day.
    At the Airborne Museum, you embark in a real Waco glider, unique in France in this state of reconstruction or in a C-47 plane as the paratroopers of the 82nd and 101st airborne divisions were able to do for the Battle of Normandy.
    The objects of the museum come to life thanks to the scenes of hyper-realistic reconstructions. Also, you will have the sensation of jumping from a C-47 plane in full flight to land in the heart of the village of Sainte-Mère-Eglise, or of fighting in the flooded marshes during the Battle of La Fière or of getting lost in the Normandy bocage during the Battle of the Hedges…

    New for 2022: a new visit route showcasing our legendary C-47 aircraft!

  • UTAH BEACH

    UTAH BEACH :  VISIT ONE OF THE 5 LANDING BEACHES

    Utah Beach is on the American sector. Utah Beach is just a code name given by the Allies. This sector extends from Sainte-Marie-du-Mont to Quinéville.

    Chronologically, in the operation of June 6, 1944, we can distinguish 3 phases: the landings by air (which touch the beaches of Utah in the west and Sword in the east), the aerial and naval bombardments on the Wall of the Atlantic and landing by sea on the 5 beaches (Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword) and Pointe du Hoc.

    Thus, in the early hours of June 6, the first airborne troops had already set foot on Norman soil: British in the east, Americans in the west.

    American paratroopers from the 82nd and 101st Airborne must seize Sainte-Mère-Eglise and secure the Utah Beach bridgehead. At 4 a.m., Sainte-Mère-Eglise was stormed.
