The commune of Pont de la Roque was the subject of a first Allied bombing on April 23, 1944. The bombers targeted the stone bridge built over the coastal river of Siena. Nearly 20 air raids were launched to destroy this bridge and it was not until mid-June that three of the eleven arches were destroyed by bombs.

"Hambye Abbey is the best-preserved medieval monastery in Normandy after Mont-Saint-Michel." (Google). The Benedictine monastery was founded in 1145. It is a truly mystical place to visit. https://de.normandie-tourisme.fr/gehenswuerdigkeiten/abbaye-de-hambye/ Prices and opening times: https://abbaye-hambye.manche.fr/infos-pratiques/preparer-ma-visite/

It was in 1852 that a cut stone bridge comprising eleven arches spanned the Siena. A strategic objective for the Allies during the Liberation, its destruction was important to hinder the German withdrawal. A first sabotage attempt was made by the Trelly resistance group, under the direction of Roger Lemesle. It was bombed, for the first time, on April 23, 1944, without success, then regularly thereafter by four Royal Air Force bombers until June 14 and 15, dates during which three of the eleven arches collapsed. A "Bailey" type bridge was installed by the Allies at the end of July 1944 to allow the passage of Brigadier General B.C. Clarke's troops. This replacement bridge, planned for two years, will be used until 1967. A new bridge, inaugurated in 1967, will be built fifty meters upstream of the old one.
