A beautiful castle

It shines with a thousand lights with the sun, we see it from far away

What a beautiful landscape, peaceful today and perfect for enjoying nature.

An impressive point of the landing beaches that should not be missed.

Pointe du Hoc is now a memorial and war memorial managed by the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC). The impact craters and bunkers are still well preserved and convey a sense of the intensity of the fighting.

During the Second World War this point was covered by German bunkers and cannons. The Germans had installed six 155 mm guns to defend the landing beaches. On June 6, 1944, during the Normandy landings, Pointe du Hoc was a target of the Allies to protect the threatened beaches from the menacing fire of the 155 mm naval guns. This difficult and arduous mission was entrusted to the US 2nd Ranger battalion led by Lieutenant Colonel James Earl Rudder. 225 men would land on the beach and have to destroy the guns.
