"ARROMANCHES" Arromanches-les-Bains by BerniShand


Arromanches-les-Bains Travel Guide: 29 reviews and 95 photos

It was strange, sitting in the hot August sunshine looking down at children playing on the beach, to think that almost 60 years ago the beach was a battlefield, there was no sadness there that day that we could see, but the rusting remains of the artificial harbour put there by the allies gave a reminder of what had been

We were very lucky as we sat at the lookout point eating our pic-nic lunch, an American family and their guide arrived and we shared the guides talk about the D Dat landing and the history of Arromanches, if that was your family, thank you very much !

    it is strange to see the beaches used as a holiday resort, but then life goes on :)
