Expansion of the D-Day Experience announced for 2019

“With this year more than 110 000 visitors against 76 000 in 2016, the establishment [D-Day Experience of Saint-Côme-du-Mont, Ed], which has since 2016 a unique experience with its simulator flight which allows the visitor to walk in the foot of the 101st Airborne Division paratroopers, should take a little more altitude in terms of attendance. The projects are not lacking.

As confirmed, Emmanuel Allain [director of the D-Day Experience, Ed] has just signed the building permit for a new extension that should see the day for the commemorations of the 75th anniversary of the landing. A 4K cinema – the first of its kind in the region – with a capacity of 200 seats, where will be screened films and documentaries dealing with D-Day. A space that should allow this museum to establish its leadership in the sector. “
