ACCOMMODATION: CHATEAU L'ISLE MARIE
Walk Among Heroes has been granted exclusive access to the world famous Chateau L'Isle Marie, for World War II experiences. Chateau L'Isle Marie is a 30,000 sq ft chateau, nestled on more than 300 acres featuring pristine, untouched natural Normandy countryside. The chateau grounds were originally inhabited by the Vikings in 900 AD.
HISTORY
Discovered and inhabited by the Vikings in 900 AD based on its strategic location, the chateau has remained in the current owners' family since originally constructed. During World War II, Nazi leadership occupied the chateau until U.S. Forces took it on D-Day, June 6, 1944, after a significant battle. The chateau remained at the center of the battle during the Normandy campaign, with a C47 aircraft crash landing right behind it.
Your experience will include a complete historical tour of the chateau and grounds, provided by the family who has owned this significant piece of history for over 1,000 years.
