They talk about it best
Fantastic! Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Normandy.
We experienced the full package, including the flight simulator
Incredible museum! The personal belongings and accompanying anecdotes are captivating! The simulator and 3D cinema are top-notch as well.
It provides a very interesting perspective on the airborne troops in the context of the D-Day landings and the battle for Carentan.
I highly recommend it +++ Everything is perfectly translated too, a big plus 😉
Thank you! 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇫🇷
The film, in particular, is highly recommended, with various translations available (including NL, DE, and EN).
The simulator was disappointing—you take off and land, that’s it.
Exceptional!
A professional and friendly service, Hollywood-style exhibits, and a flight simulator I won’t forget anytime soon.
It’s truly worth the visit, and the Dead Man’s Corner Museum was an added bonus!
Great job 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Great museum! Many individual stories of soldiers. They’ve tackled D-Day from a unique perspective.
The Battle of Carentan like you've never seen it!
Discover 500 m² of additional exhibition dedicated to the Landings in a more general way, with a focus on the Battle of Carentan. A scenography that immerses you in the battles of D-Day through new objects to discover in carefully designed dioramas and windows. A space that complements the already very rich museography of D-Day Experience!
