Why Visit La Fière?
"I've rarely stayed in a guesthouse where history seemed so alive."
— Kirk Ellis, Emmy Award-winning screenwriter of John Adams
Just hours before the first American boots touched the beaches of Normandy, over 6,000 U.S. paratroopers dropped into the darkness above the Merderet River. Taking La Fière Bridge was their first objective — and for four brutal days, the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne Division held it against everything the enemy could deliver. Because they did not let go, this bridge allowed 150,000 soldiers to move inland. And Europe moved toward freedom.
At our guesthouse, you can stand on that ground.
