Sainte-Mere-Eglise

Sainte-Mere-Eglise

  • American Cemetery and Interpretive Centre : over 9,000 U.S. graves overlooking Omaha Beach.
  • Omaha Beach (2 stops minimum) : the most intense sector of D-Day; learn about the obstacles, tides and courage that defined it.
  • Pointe du Hoc : heroic assault of the 2nd Rangers.
  • Sainte-Mère-Église : symbolic of the paratroopers’ role on D-Day. Visit of the American Airborne Museum.
  • Utah Beach : the westernmost landing zone, more successful and less costly than Omaha, but equally crucial for the breakout.
