Carentan Militaria/souvenirs

[aps]

Good evening all !

I have a quick question ...
This year i'll be staying in Carentan for the 70th , i usually stay in Saint Mere Eglise but decided on a change .

My question is .. does the town have any militaria shops or souvenir type for militaria like Sainte Mere does ?


thanks in advance

Very close to where I live! St Mere Eglise is only a few miles, and Caretan. where do most of my shopping is about 15 minutes drive.
There is a military shop in Carentan called Paratrooper, but I think there are more.

Isn't the paratrooper shop part of dead man's corner?

Is that the one attached to "dead mans corner" ?
Ive been to that one several times .. very nice stuff in there , plus the main 2 in Sainte Mere .. was just wondering if any existed actually in Carentan town ?

I must admit I haven't seen any others in carentan but then again I haven't really looked theres a couple of good ones near utah beach but I cant remember the name of the little village there in!

@ Panzer .. would that be Sainte Marie du Mont ? its kind of got the Church right in the center and you drive around it ?
That has a couple of pretty good shops .. however one in particular had repro mixed in with period items .. a bit naughty i thought

cheers

Yeah that would be the one! Really? Great little museum there too.

Yep , when quizzed if one Eagle was period his English suddenly became none existent ( was in the middle of actual period items and was priced @ 15 euros )

It surprised me a little as it was a big shop

cheers

Funny that!!! Never can be too careful! I find all the items in france are well overpriced there's a good shop in arromanche if u haven't been there already?
