France — Normandy

Sainte-Mère-Église

The paratroopers' village — where history hung from a steeple.

Sainte-Mère-Église is immortalised by the American paratrooper John Steele, whose parachute caught on the church steeple on D-Day. The Airborne Museum holds one of the most extraordinary D-Day collections in Europe.
