    Tips

    Located further from the coast and less visible than that of Crisbecq, this battery was built a short distance from the village because of the possibility of disguising the casemates as residential houses. The battery was equipped with 105mm guns, with no sea view. The soldiers had a good time in the bunker, which was furnished with a casino with bar, stage and girls of pleasure. The water reservoir served as a swimming pool. The complex is very well preserved, especially the underground passages are still almost completely intact. Apart from the layout, you can also see the effect of the impact of a 356mm grenade from the nevada on the battery.
