    Sword Beach: The French and British commandos landed at Collevilla-Plage, Lion-sur-Mer and Saint-Aubin. They captured the fortified bridge of Riva-Bella and the positions of Lion and Langrune only on June 7, after which they made contact with the airborne troops on Pegasus Bridge.

    Luc-sur-Mer, the oldest seaside resort in Lower Normandy, is known for its beneficial climate. There is a spa, where treatments with hydrosodium iodate are given, and a laboratory for marine zoology.
