Visit the American Sector
Sainte Mère Eglise: Peaceful village which has seen its history change in the night of June, 6th 1944 when 82nd Airborne paratroopers liberated it. In 1962, movie “The Longest Day” released in theaters enhanced Ste Mere Eglise fame.
Pointe Du Hoc: Standing on a cliff at 100 feet high, between the two American landing beaches, you will understand why the Germans chose this place as a site for a coastal artillery battery.
Utah Beach: The most westerly and isolated of the five invasion Beaches. Utah has seen more then 23 000 men, 1700 war vehicles and 1695 tons of equipment during Overlord Operation.
Omaha Beach: Known as “Bloody Omaha”, it is the more easterly of the American sector. Omaha was a key Beach because it lay at the center of Normandy and stretched for 6 miles between Utah and Gold.
