Arromanches-les-Bains

BRITISH SECTOR OPTIONYour driver will take you to Arromanches-les-Bains.It was on this beach that, during the Battle of Normandy, immediately after D-Day on June 6th, 1944, the Allies established Mulberry B, a temporary artificial harbor designed to allow the landing of heavy equipment without waiting for the capture of deep-water ports such as Le Havre or Cherbourg (Cherbourg-en-Cotentin since 2016).Although located in the center of the Gold Beach landing zone, Arromanches was spared the worst of the fighting on D-Day.To ensure the harbor could be installed and made operational as quickly as possible, the beach needed to be preserved and the surrounding communication routes kept intact.British troops therefore landed further east, between Asnelles and Ver-sur-Mer, and liberated Arromanches by land on the evening of June 6th.The harbor was put into operation on June 14th.

Longues-sur-Mer

BRITISH SECTOR OPTIONThe Longues-sur-Mer battery is one of the artillery batteries of the Atlantic Wall, located in the coastal commune of Longues-sur-Mer in the Calvados region.The site consisted of four long-range 150 mm naval guns, each protected by a reinforced concrete casemate, along with various installations used to operate and defend them. Situated in the Allied Normandy landing zone, between Omaha Beach and Gold Beach, the battery was subjected to intense aerial and then naval bombardment, preventing it from fully engaging on D-Day.It was captured the following day by British troops.Listed as a Historic Monument, it is in a very good state of preservation.The site is open to visitors and has become a popular stop on tours of the D-Day landing sites.
