A place to immerse yourself in history with an immersive, interactive tour of the D-Day airborne landings.
The D-Day Experience museum offers an immersive, interactive journey in the footsteps of the paratroopers. Your visit is divided into 3 stages: firstly, the D-Day Experience museum, with its 1,500 m² exhibition on the American paratroopers, its briefing and its unique flight simulator, which lets you relive their crossing of the English Channel on the night of June 5 to 6, 1944: emotions guaranteed, both in terms of sensations and the incredibly realistic perception of what the liberators must have felt before jumping from their planes, risking their lives! Next, you’ll discover the 3D cinema on a giant screen, which explains the D-Day Landings and the Battle of Carentan. A 36-minute documentary is projected onto a 15 x 8-meter screen, with spatialized sound, enhancing your sensations tenfold in an incredible space. And finally, the historic Dead Man’s Corner house lets you discover the point of view of the German troops. It’s a real family immersion into the lives of those who lived through D-Day! Here, the fighting lasted no less than 3 full days, and the house and its exhibition invite you to discover these days from the point of view of the German soldiers, with an incredible museography. To reach the site from Paris or Cherbourg, leave the RN13 at Carentan and follow the signs for Saint-Côme du Mont. From there, D-Day Experience is well signposted and easy to find! A must on your tour.

Members' reviews on D-DAY EXPERIENCE
The whole part where he is talking about only bringing a knife was odd.
I feel like something more historically accurate would have been better.
*Edit
I rewatched a video of the briefing, and it made sense the second time. This is my fault.
Thank you for the correction.
Thank you for your visit and your comment. Regarding the remarks made by the officer during the briefing, we cannot be more historically accurate as we have transcribed exactly what this officer said to his men before boarding, using documents and eyewitness accounts. There are truths and historical facts that should not be denied.
We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Plus accessible si un peu plus abordable.
