Additional Details:
View of Sainte-Mère-Église church, built in the 12th, 14th, and 15th centuries. During the night of June 5-6, 1944, American paratrooper John Steele remained hanging from the church tower for 3 hours. Above the portal is a beautiful stained glass window commemorating the liberation. In the foreground is a 16th-century cross.
