The Normandy Landings 1944

Vous êtes ici : OT Baie du Cotentin - Sainte Mère Eglise et Carentan» Exploring » The Normandy Landings 1944

The Normandy Landings : immerse yourself in the history of D-Day 44 in the Cotentin.

Discover the course of events on D-Day, 6th June 1944: the parachute landings, the amphibious invasion on Utah Beach, the liberation of Sainte-Mère-Eglise and the Battle of Carentan …

Carentan was the theatre of some of the first battles involving the American 101st Airborne Division, who landed nearby. Sainte-Mère-Eglise was the first town liberated by the Allies. The Bay of Cotentin continues to remember its liberators through numerous monuments, museums, memorials and historical tours.

Many sites and places of interest deal with this decisive episode of the Second World War, giving you a chance to “relive” the terrible hours of the liberation. You may choose to take a tour with an experienced guide or make a more unusual visit to the landing sites in a jeep at night. You can also take a trip to the open air museum or the historical centre of the paratroopers … After all these visits, the Battle of Normandy will have no secrets for you.
