On D-Day, John M.Steele, one of the mortar platoon of the 505 PIR of the US 82nd Airborne had his chute snag on the church tower as he descended. Here he hung during the battle, watching helplessly as his colleagues fought below. This scene was famously reenacted in the film "The Longest Day", and a manequin now hangs from the church in Ste Mere Eglise depicting the event (do you see him?)

"Very unique!! No curtains, especially in summertime with the early light a must. Overall smudgy, the place and rooms definitely need cleaning. The plumbing needs renovation. An overall survival experience. Ok the sheets were clean... "

"Stayed for three nights, the entire property is gorgeous, the rooms are very clean and spacious, the breakfast was excellent, the owners are very nice and welcoming. Grandcamp-Maisy is a very nice town and the food and staff at Restaurant de la Marée is seriously top notch, lots to do in the surrounding area as well."
