If you love WWII this church has a great stop. you can still see the broken tile where the dud mortar hit. The blood stained on the pews are truly humbling. Make sure to learn the story of the medics before you go. you can even watch the PBS special.

Definitely a place to visit in Normandy! Great opportunity to salute and remember what 101st Airborne and the US Army did for us (I am French!), the flight simulator feels very realistic, the collection inside the museum is a very comprehensive one, with a very touching account of the stories of the jackets and other artifacts belonging to the guys, the medical equipment they used on the wounded, the planers, etc... I could go on for a while here! Dead's Man Corner is also very detailed, giving one a good idea of what it was like in the German camp.

The site where Lt. Winters and members of Easy Company took out 4 German 105s. To see this field and trenches brings to reality what these men did.

Memorial to Major Tucker, an American officer killed while supervising the reconstruction of the bridge bearing his name on June 27th, 1944. In the aftermath of his death, stelae were erected and then disappeared over time. In 2017, this error of history is corrected and the Major's honor safe.
