A place steeped in memory
The famous church with its parachutist
The small central square, dominated by the church and the silhouette of a paratrooper hanging from the bell tower, is known the world over. It pays homage to John Steele, the American paratrooper who hung on during D-Day. This emblematic scene is recounted in the film The Longest Day.

Across the street, the Airborne Museum is one of the most complete museums on American paratroopers. It offers a realistic immersion in the history of the D-Day landings, with objects, eyewitness accounts and modern scenography. It’s a visit as moving as it is instructive.
