Mont Canisy, like Pointe du Hoc, is an emblematic place of the Second World War in Normandy. Due to its strategic position, it has always been a stronghold over the centuries.

In turn seigniorial stronghold in 1793, anti-submarine defense post in 1917, coastal battery between 1935 and 1940, its position facing the port of Le Havre and the Bay of Seine earned it, during the last world conflict, be transformed into a veritable concrete fortress. Today it is a magical place to observe the Atlantic Ocean and the Normandy coast.

Mont Canisy is a prominent hill on the Côte Fleurie in Normandy, about 4 km southwest of Deauville, France. At approximately 110 meters high, the hill offers impressive panoramic views of the sea and the surrounding countryside.
