• Sainte-Mère-Église - This small Norman town made history as one of the first villages liberated during the D-Day landings on June 6, 1944. In the early hours of D-Day, paratroopers from the 82nd American Airborne Division were dropped in the area, with some landing directly in the heart of the town.

One of the most memorable episodes involves John Steele, whose parachute got caught on the church steeple. Dangling in the air, he pretended to be dead to avoid detection by German forces before eventually escaping. After fierce battles, Allied troops secured the town by dawn.

Today, Sainte-Mère-Église stands as a symbolic site of D-Day remembrance. A paratrooper figure hanging from the church and several museums commemorate the bravery and sacrifice of those who took part in the liberation.

• Pointe du Hoc - Situated on steep cliffs, Pointe du Hoc was a key strategic point during D-Day. On June 6, 1944, American Rangers scaled these cliffs under enemy fire to neutralize a German battery threatening Omaha and Utah Beach.

Today, this preserved site bears witness to the ferocity of the battles with its explosion craters, ruined bunkers, and German gun positions. An immersive visit to relive one of the most heroic moments of the landings.

• Omaha Beach - Omaha Beach is one of the most iconic D-Day sites, where American forces faced fierce resistance on June 6, 1944. Nicknamed “Bloody Omaha,” this beach was the scene of intense fighting, with heavy losses during the assault on German fortifications.

Today, Omaha Beach is an essential place of remembrance. Walking along this vast stretch of sand, one can imagine the courage of the soldiers who landed under heavy fire to liberate Europe.

Nearby, the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer pays tribute to the thousands of soldiers who fell that day. Between history and emotion, a visit to Omaha Beach is a profound experience, crucial for understanding the scale of the Allied landings.

• American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer - Overlooking Omaha Beach, the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer is a poignant memorial dedicated to the 9,387 American soldiers who fell during the landings and the Battle of Normandy.

In a solemn and peaceful setting, the perfectly aligned white crosses, chapel, and wall of the missing honor the ultimate sacrifice of these men for freedom.

A museum and interactive exhibit provide deeper insight into the events of June 6, 1944. A moving and essential visit to honor the memory of the D-Day heroes.
