Cap Hornu is a cape located near Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, on the south bank of the Bay of Somme.
The name Cap Hornu comes from the Picard word “hornu”, which means “horned” or “pointed”, and refers to the shape of the cape. The cape was also known as Cap Saint-Valery in the past.

The history of Cap Hornu is closely linked to that of Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, which was a strategic port and a medieval town that witnessed many historical events. In 1066, William the Conqueror departed from Saint-Valery-sur-Somme with his fleet to invade England. In 1431, Joan of Arc was imprisoned in Saint-Valery-sur-Somme before being transferred to Rouen. In 1568, a massacre of Huguenots took place in Saint-Valery-sur-Somme after a battle between Catholics and Protestants

Le Hourdel Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

In 1943, a military base was installed by General Erwin Rommel, in charge of the defense of the Atlantic Wall on the Northwest. He transformed the beach into a vast construction site: minefield, construction of blockhouses, IEDs. in August 1944, following the landing of the Allied forces in Normandy, the German troops were ordered to withdraw. they take the time to dynamite the lighthouses, destroy their installations and devastate the Hameau du Hourdel.

The small streets with some restaurants have something...although or precisely because they are not so spruced up
