Outstanding WWII museum. Built on the very spot where American troops landed on 6 June 1944, the museum tells the story of D-Day in ten sequences, from its preparation to its successful conclusion.
Thanks to a complete chronological tour, immerse yourself in the history of the D-Day landings and discover a collection rich in objects, vehicles, equipment and testimonies.
See an authentic B26 bomber, an exceptional aircraft of which there are only a few left in the world, and relive the epic of the American soldiers through the film Victory Beach, which won the Golden Eagle Award for Documentary in 2012 and the Special Jury Prize in 2013.
When you leave the site, you will not only have understood the strategic choice and the reasons for success at Utah Beach, but you will also have contributed to the preservation and transmission of the memory of these extraordinary men.
