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.

Located in the Parc Naturel Régional des Marais du Cotentin et du Bessin, the "Madeleine" beach went into history a Tuesday of June 1944. 75 years after, the Utah Beach Landing Museum invites you to walk along paths of our liberators.

Probably the most impressive museum we visited during our tour of the five D Day beaches. From the museum it is only a 100 yard walk to the beach. Once again if you stand and overlook the beach you realise just how exposed the attacking force was especially with regard to cover from the terrain. There are plenty of monuments and viewing points to enable you to see the whole of the beach area. The museum was very impressive the presentation was excellent and it provided a great deal of information to support the exhibits. There is a completed B26 Marauder that l have never seen before which enhanced the visit. Entrance fee 8 Euros very reasonable. Would definitely return again.
