Kieffer Commando's Monument: In a beautiful park on the coast is this monument of the No. 4 Commandos of Lt. 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. The Stützpunkt with 6 155mm guns served to defend the entrance to the river Orne and the canal. The Regelbau 644 is a "Stand with 6-Schartenturm in A". The stones in front of the monument bear the names of the fallen French commandos of June 6, 1944.

In the municipal park, a beautiful shady garden full of flowers, there is a 19 m whale skeleton of a whale that washed up on the beach in 1885. On the night of January 14 to 15, 1885, a whale of 40 tons and 19 meters long ran aground on the banks of the Côte de Nacre near Luc-sur-Mer at the place called "Brèche du Moulin". His skeleton is now installed in the city park and attracts many visitors. To make the visit more attractive and cultural, a Whale House has been designed and built for individuals and groups (this museum is managed by the association called "the Brotherhood of the Knights of the Whale").

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.
