      During World War II, Mont Canisy was a strategically important point for the German Wehrmacht. The site was heavily fortified as part of the Atlantic Wall and served as a coastal battery to protect the Normandy beaches from an Allied invasion.

      Today, numerous bunkers, gun emplacements, and underground passages remain. Some areas can be visited.
