Sainte-Mère-Église: Holiday apartments and holiday homes
In Sainte-Mère-Église, church history, memorial sites and insights into the rural past come together. The church of Sainte-Mère-Église was begun in the Romanesque style in the 11th century and completed almost four centuries later in the Gothic style. Two of its stained-glass windows were donated in memory of the liberation.
