The town of Ver-sur-Mer saw 2 important events in the 20th century, both of which are explored at the Musée America Gold Beach. In 1927, the first airmail flight between the US and France crash-landed in the sea off Ver-sur-Mer. The aircraft was called America. Later, on 6th June 1944, the British 50th Infantry Division landed on the beach code-named Gold Beach in the D-Day Landings.
Displays including scale models, slides and archive photographs, as well as objects from the landings, showcase the events of the British landings on Gold Beach. Guided tours in English, French or Spanish are available by appointment.
