Km 00 Liberty Road

Highlight • Monument

The Freedom Route is a historic route which commemorates the Liberation of France but also that of Belgium and Luxembourg during the Second World War. The km 0 and 00 terminals of this Route are located in the Manche at Sainte-Mère-Eglise and Utah Beach.
The Way of Freedom was created on the initiative of Commander Guy de la Vasselais. Head of the French military tactical liaison mission near General Patton's 3rd American Army, Guy de la Vasselais received numerous medals at the Liberation. It was in 1946 that he decided to create a Freedom Route in tribute to the sacrifices of the men of the 3rd Army who came to liberate Europe.
The Road to Freedom follows the route taken by the Allies and the French army to liberate France and part of the Benelux.

Terminal :
In 1944 the USA had 48 states, the terminal will therefore have 48 stars to illustrate these states. The 4 colored rectangles represent the 4 portions of the Way of Freedom, namely:
- Sainte-Mère-Eglise/Cherbourg;
- Sainte-Mère-Eglise/Avranches;
- Avranches/Metz;
- Metz/Luxembourg/Bastogne.
Then, always faithful to American symbols, the central flame, representing the torch of Liberty emerging from the sea, is modeled on the flame of the Statue of Liberty.

The Barquette Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This lock bridge in Carentan offers a beautiful view of the marsh landscapes. Its five flood gates close when the tide rises and open when it falls.

Canal de Carentan

Highlight • River

The port in the northeast of the city is located at the end of a channel connecting the bay of Les veys and was inaugurated in 1982. When the tide rises, the so-called muscaret can be seen from the lock that closes the entrance to the harbour: a phenomenon in which a wave that flows into the canal from the sea is broken by the resistance of the river water that flows into the sea in the opposite direction. (Michelin)

Notre-Dame de Carentan

Highlight • Historical Site

The south side of the church (12th-15th century) is a prime example of Flamboyant Gothic. The bell tower with the high octagonal spire towers high above the surroundings. A Renaissance-style gate closes off the choir.

Portion in the marshes

Highlight • Other

Very nice portion in the heart of the marsh. A few steps from the Channel Sea, this natural space is home to a great diversity of species. Take the time to observe them as you progress.
