"Set beside the Merderet River in Normandy, La Fière Guesthouse offers travelers more than just a place to stay—it offers a direct link to one of D-Day’s fiercest battles. Here, in June 1944, the 82nd Airborne Division fought to secure the vital bridge at La Fière, a struggle so intense it became one of the bloodiest engagements in the division’s history. Control of this crossing was essential to halt German counterattacks and open the path inland from Utah Beach. Today, the fields are peaceful, but the echoes of history remain. The guesthouse, curated by Helen Patton, granddaughter of General George S. Patton, serves as a living museum. Its remarkable library and tributes honor both her grandfather’s legacy and the countless veterans of World War II. Guests lucky enough to meet Helen will find her knowledge and passion for history both captivating and deeply personal. Hospitality here is warm and genuine, thanks to Neal and Denise, who ensure each guest feels at home. Rooms are spotless and comfortable, while breakfast, served in a private dining area overlooking the French countryside, is a quiet reminder of the land’s transformation from battlefield to sanctuary. For those seeking comfort, authenticity, and an unforgettable connection to history, La Fière Guesthouse stands as a hidden gem in the heart of Normandy."

"Great stop heading up towards Calais "

"Basic stay while on holiday. Close to where we were going. Older building, but clean and comfortable. Could walk to food places."

"The host family was friendly and very helpful. We had a lovely, comfortable, and well-decorated space. A lot of thought went into the place. We had a lovely breakfast daily. The host was always available to everyone, even though they left you to rest and enjoy. The property is tranquil and peaceful, allowing you to relax. We are delighted and would gladly return; it's value for money. We loved having our French Bulldog, Triptan, stay with us. Thank You - Merci "

"Located in the center of Carentan across from the bahnhof, this hotel is easy to find. Parking is available in back or on the street. The room we stayed in #11, has no interior curtains. To have privacy, you close the outdoor shutters and lock them, the close the windows. No electric outlets in the bathroom or 2nd room where 2 single beds are located. Rooms are clean, bed was firm. "
