Month: May 2024

As part of the festivities to mark the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings, the commune of Carentan-les-Marais is announcing the introduction of free shuttles to facilitate travel for visitors and residents during the first two weekends of the month. The shuttles will run on June 1 and 2 and June 8 and 9, from 9am to 10pm.

Two shuttles will run every hour, one from each museum, ensuring a regular connection between the various stops and smoothing the arrival of visitors to the commune.

The commune of Carentan-les-Marais invites all visitors to make the most of this free service to reduce the number of vehicles circulating in the town center in particular. To this end, 7 parking lots will be available for cars from Saturday June 1 to Sunday June 9, and 3 motorhome parks from Friday May 31 to Sunday June 9.

🔥 This Sunday, May 12, around 5:00 pm, La Flamme de la Liberté is passing through Carentan-les-Marais!

📍 On a 2km course from Carré de Choux, Route de Saint-Côme, to Place de la République. 44 runners (22 boys and 22 girls) will carry the Flame to the Carentan War Memorial.

💥 All Carentan runners are welcome to join the procession. The Flame of Liberty will remain in Carentan’s Notre-Dame church until Sunday June 9, 2024 and the ecumenical celebration.
