We were very pleasantly surprised at how good the Airborne Museum is! Very well kept. Massive amount of exhibits both inter-active and to view. The centre pieces of the C45 and glider are superb...

Come in the morning, as soon as it opens for a better experience. It is , in my opinion, the best museum in the area about the " Debarquement".

A museum focusing on the airborne divisions that landed in this area. Very well curated though some old veterans said it was too realistic for their memories. You can pick up an interactive I pad like device which helps expand the experience. Ideally you are looking at a good 2 hours here. There is a shop and decent toilets on site.

Amazing museum! Brilliant for adults & children alike, my children loved the tablets issued at the front desk which are very interactive and make the visit really fun & interesting for the children. Everything in French and English, the tablets have multiple languages too. It was fascinating to see all this up close and listen to witness accounts gathered. Soldiers had names and faces and being able to discover their lives in those few days really brought home their heroism to stand up to fight knowing they would more than likely die.

Another wonderful d-day museum. This one is very interactive. You will get a iPad to hold up to qr codes throughout the museum and it will give a small video and some interactive information about the item that was scanned. We loved the tour and all the memorabilia from the tanks to the different uniforms. A must visit

Beautiful museum. One of the best WWII museum's I have visited. At the beginning you receive a interactive tablet where you can find extra information and helps you imagine how things looked during the war. Especially the part where you step into a plane to imagine the parachutedrop above Normandy is a breathtaking experience. When you visit Normandy you MUST visit this museum.
