A little piece of the US in France? The ‘myth’ of Normandy’s American Cemetery • FRANCE 24

Home to the graves of nearly 10,000 American soldiers who died fighting to liberate France in World War II, the Normandy American Military Cemetery, just a stone’s throw from Omaha Beach, is a revered site of remembrance visited by 2 million people a year. A common belief is that the cemetery is officially American soil but this is a myth, explains the cemetery’s superintendent Scott Desjardins, who took FRANCE 24 on a tour of the site ahead of the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings. #Normandy #France #US 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X (Twitter): https://f24.my/Xen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen
