ラ・ペルネルのおすすめMTB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。

東西軸の道路を避けるためにうまく配置された迂回路ですが、この通路は少しテクニカルです。MTB愛好家の皆さん、全く問題ないでしょう。しかし、グラベルロード愛好家の皆さん、ご注意ください。上り（東向き）は急で石が多いですが、ゆっくりとしたペースであれば十分に可能です。逆に、逆方向はかなり危険な下りのように見えるので、注意してください！

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 hike is beautiful and safe. Except for one major drawback: if you have a dog, be careful because there are several farm properties with dogs running free!! There is a waterfall at the end of the hike.

Magnificent tour. Not to be missed. Battery well charged. We loved it.

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).

A beautiful, expansive beach steeped in history.

Bronze statues, very detailed, depicting landing with a landing craft.
