If you are looking for a unique destination in Normandy, you should stop to see the Sherman tank in La Ferrière-Béchet. This is an American tank from World War II that was abandoned in the Ecouves forest after being hit by a German shell in August 1944. The tank is today covered in moss and vegetation, creating a striking contrast with its metal structure.

1944, General Leclerc's 2nd Armored Division advances from Utah Beach towards the German border. The Keren tank unfortunately did not make the trip. Don't panic, he has found a new home in the town of Boischampré.
