ヴィアヴィルのおすすめライド

ユタビーチは、第二次世界大戦中の1944年6月6日（D-Day）に行われたノルマンディー上陸作戦の5つのビーチのうちの1つに連合国が付けたコードネームです。オペレーション・オーバーロード全体の最も西側の攻撃セクターを表し、コタンタン半島に位置し、プープヴィルとサン・マルタン・ド・ヴァルレヴィルの間にありました。今日、この場所は、歴史的記念碑や追悼の小道が豊富な、サン・マリー・デュ・モンへの入り口にある静かな砂浜となっています。

Utah Beach was the first of the five D-Day landing beaches to be recaptured by the Allies. It was chosen to retake Cherbourg and its deep-water port. Several memorials along the beach allow visitors to rediscover the history of the landings.

The church became known because a paratrooper was stuck on the church for hours during the invasion.

To honor the many American paratroopers and infantrymen who lost their lives in this region, a statue named "Iron Mike" was erected there. This statue is similar to the one that can be seen at Fort Bragg (USA), where the 82nd Airborne Division was - and still is - based.

The legendary Major Richard D. Winters, portrayed in the series ‘Band of Brothers’, is honored in bronze.

24h parking was only 4 Euros. We used this a the base for our days ride.
