The Normandy Landings : museums that will take you back to the Battle of Normandy

The Bay of Cotentin remains deeply marked by the history of the landings: the airdrops of 6^th June 44 are forever etched in the history of the Battle of Normandy. On D-Day, Sainte-Mère-Eglise , Utah Beach and Carentan experienced uncertain hours before their release. Terrible battles, fires, and the landing of the Allies…  Many museums retrace this major episode of the Second World War. Take a visit to a battery, a memorial, the Museum of the Occupation, the Museum of the liberation, the historical centre of the paratroopers, or a collection of tanks and American cars… Journey through time, go back 70 years, and walk in the footsteps of the Allies. Unusual visits await you: night tours in a jeep, authentic vehicles of the Second World War, leisurely visits with the open air museum …  Nothing has been left out in the museums dedicated to the D-Day landings in the Bay of Cotentin.
