Kieffer, who came ashore in the early morning of June 6, 1944 to neutralize the batteries of Ouistreham. The monument is located on a German 644 bunker that was part of Stützpunkt 08 HKB Riva Bella.

Just after midnight on the night of June 5-6, the two bridges of Ranville-Bénouville were captured by the British 5th Parachute Brigade after a short battle. Pegasus was their emblem. A small part of France was liberated. Major Howard had won the Battle of Pegasus and those in need had a field for gliders to land on, a movable steel bridge, a house on the water's edge, and... the Gondrée family, who at 11 a.m. saw Lord Lovat (1911- 1995) and his 'Green Berets' arrive, to the sound of a bagpipe. Now café-museum Gondrée is a meeting point for veterans and tourists. (Michelin)

Raised on a firing dome, this symbolic monument of the Liberation is the work of local artist Yvonne Guégan. On the metal of a flame, wave or bow depending on the interpretation of each, are engraved the names of the 177 French who participated in the military operations on the morning of June 6, 1944. Around, ten small stelae bear the names of the commandos fallen between Colleville -Montgomery and Ouistreham, another recalls the memory of Commander Philippe Kieffer. The complex was inaugurated on June 6, 1984 by President François Mitterrand. It is here that every year, on the anniversary date, French veterans gather for a moving tribute to their fallen comrades.

The beautiful castle is a good example of neoclassical architecture in France at the end of the 18th century. It is one of the most important works of the Parisian architect Claude-Nicola Ledoux. The courtyard facade has an impressive row of iconic columns, crowned by a entablature with a relief of weapons and figures. The garden side shows the same ionic order, but pilasters below the attic bearing military victory marks. Now the castle is owned by the departmental council and it hosts temporary exhibitions.

Pegasus Bridge. Original can be seen on eastern bank after it was removed in the 60's

Originally a quick temporary bridge to re-establish communication across this canal, and a few hundred meters further east a second bridge, at Le Pont de Ranville, both destroyed during WW II.
