What to expect

Utah Beach, located in Sainte-Marie-du-Mont, Normandy, France, is a historic site that played a significant role in the D-Day landings during World War II. The beach was the westernmost of the five landing areas and was assaulted by the U.S. 4th Infantry Division on June 6, 1944. The Utah Beach Landing Museum, built on the spot where the landings took place, tells the story of D-Day in ten sequences, from its preparation to its successful conclusion. The museum showcases a collection of artifacts, including uniforms, vehicles, and a B-26 bomber, and offers a unique insight into the events of D-Day. Visitors can walk on the beach where the American troops landed and explore the surrounding area, which includes the town of Sainte-Mère-Église, liberated by the Americans on D-Day. The site is a must-visit for anyone interested in history and the events of World War II
