ケイトゥーのおすすめライド

ユタビーチは、第二次世界大戦中の1944年6月6日（D-Day）に行われたノルマンディー上陸作戦の5つのビーチのうちの1つに連合国が付けたコードネームです。オペレーション・オーバーロード全体の最も西側の攻撃セクターを表し、コタンタン半島に位置し、プープヴィルとサン・マルタン・ド・ヴァルレヴィルの間にありました。今日、この場所は、歴史的記念碑や追悼の小道が豊富な、サン・マリー・デュ・モンへの入り口にある静かな砂浜となっています。

Utah Beach was the first of the five D-Day landing beaches to be recaptured by the Allies. It was chosen to retake Cherbourg and its deep-water port. Several memorials along the beach allow visitors to rediscover the history of the landings.

The legendary Major Richard D. Winters, portrayed in the series ‘Band of Brothers’, is honored in bronze.

Very pretty fishing and marina port.

The original lighthouse was built in 1775 to protect the dangerous waters around Pointe de Barfleur, which were known for numerous shipping disasters, including the sinking of the "White Ship" in 1120. Since the first tower did not meet the requirements of the 1825 national coastal lighting program, construction began on a new, larger tower in 1829. Completed in 1835 under the direction of architect Charles-Félix Morice de la Rue, it replaced the old tower, which was then used as an optical telegraph. The new tower is made of approximately 11,000 granite blocks and has 365 steps—symbolizing the days of a year. It also has 52 windows (representing the weeks) and 12 floors (representing the months).

The old granite harbor is the heart of Barfleur and is still used by small fishing boats.

A beautiful little fishing village that is worth a visit.

A beautiful, expansive beach steeped in history.
