Sainte-Mère-Église has been a world-famous town since 1944, and is one of the great sites of contemporary history. It was in Sainte-Mère-Église, on the night of June 5-6 of that year, that the liberation of Europe began with the parachuting of the 82nd Airborne Division, which took the town by surprise. Of course, 2024 is a very special year here, as the commemorations to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day are announced as being particularly numerous and moving. Today, souvenir stores are springing up all over the place, and English is spoken almost more often than French!
