    This immense cross of Lorraine was erected here because General de Gaulle landed on this beach located between Graye-sur-Mer and Courseulles-sur-Mer on June 14, 1944.

    Charles de Gaulle was warned at the last moment by the allies of the Normandy landings of June 6, 1944. Feeling terrible anger. He had these words: “France has been treated like a doormat! »
