Armed conflict has had a huge impact on the world as we know it today. Study the military paraphernalia at Airborne Museum to find out how battles were fought, won and lost.

This exhibition of military memorabilia is often on the itineraries of visitors to Sainte-Mere-Eglise. But Airborne Museum isn't the area's only highlight. Sainte-Mere-Eglise Church, La Fiere Bridge and Iron Mike Monument, and D-Day Paratrooper Historical Center are some other worthwhile sights close by.

Great location, great rooms. The breakfast is expensive at €19 & is not that nice, limited variety and not worth the price. Sadly some of the staff are not welcoming which put us off this hotel.
