Airborne Museum (Musée Airborne)

During Operation Neptune, American paratroopers descended on the small village of Sainte-Mère-Église, a pivotal moment that contributed to the Allies’ victory. The scattered arrival of these troops forced the Germans to defend their positions, leading to intense battles in and around the village. Today, the Airborne Museum stands as a testament to this historic event, offering visitors a detailed look into the operations and experiences of the paratroopers. Located in the heart of Sainte-Mère-Église, the museum is one of the most fascinating WWII sites in Normandy, providing a vivid and informative journey through a critical period of the war.
