The bay overlooking the village of Arromanches was chosen by the allies for the construction of the Mulberry port. Few places in Normandy allow you to see the scars of war so clearly. This prefabricated port allowed the Allies to be supplied in the days following the landing on June 6, 1944.
You can observe the ancient barges up close only at low tide. At high tide, take the opportunity to visit the pretty village and its museums.

The beach at Arromanches-les-Bains is still dotted with ghostly concrete floats, a reminder of the technical feat of the Allies on 7 June 1944: in a few days they built an artificial floating harbour to supply the troops. Arromanches is a must on the discovery trail of the invasion. The seaside resort hosted the official ceremony of the 60th anniversary.
