The American Airborne Assault from Bayeux

• Saint Mére Eglise, one of numerous villages to be capture and held, one of the most famous towns for the visits. The village was targeted as the junction of the main North-South and East-West roads behind Utah Beach so it was of crucial importance to the Paras on D-Day. • La Fiere Bridge. This quiet bridge over the Merderet River some two miles (3km) west of Sainte-Mere-Eglise saw some of the fiercest fighting for the 82nd Airborne Division during their time in Normandy. • Angoville au Plain a tiny tiny Norman village where 2 US medics, Robert Wright and Kenneth Moore, set up an aid station in the 12th century church. • Utah beach the western extreme of the DD landing zone where the son of President Teddy Roosevelt came ashore, leading the first assault wave. • The Bercourt Manoir, where the exploits of the Easy campany of the 506Rg, 101St DI would inspire the HBO Television Series “Band of Brothers”. - The US cemetery and Omaha beach can be added to the itinerary if enough time.
