Batteries des Longues

Highlight • Other

A once formidable German coastal battery. Despite the 600 tons of bombs dropped by 124 RAF aircraft on the night of 5/6 June, the four guns were still intact the next morning. At 5:37 am they opened fire. The French cruiser Georges-Leygues was the first to answer the German attack, followed by the Montcalm and the American battleship Arkansas. The battery was not finally silenced until 7 pm by two direct hits from the French cruiser Georges-Leygues. The battery, which stands on a picturesque cliff, had four 150mm guns with a range of 20 km. The observation and command post that stood 300m in front of the bunkers on the edge of the cliff was the scene of one of the most famous scenes from the movie The Longest Day.

Port-en-Bessin-Huppain Harbour

Highlight • Settlement

This town, locally called "Port" for short, is located in a cove between the marl cliffs. It's a bustling harbor town, all the more picturesque for its cramped space. Scallops are fished in the Bay of the Seine and sea fish off the coast of South West England. In the hall of the fish auction, 10,000 tons of fish are traded every year.
