German bunker

Highlight • Historical Site

A very well preserved, impressive part of the North Atlantic Wall. Very lonely during the week in February/March, almost spooky if you are there alone

View of the Arromanches Cliffs and Mulberry Harbour Remains

Highlight • Viewpoint

An impressive view of the port artificiel in Arromanches. One looks with a little reverence at the remains of the pontoon port built by the Allies almost 80 years ago. A surprisingly well-preserved memorial

June 6, 2025,🇫🇷 - Von Arromanches-les-Bains zum Kap Manvieux

Today, another beautiful coastal hike with dramatic cloud formations, stunning views of the cliffs, and relics from the Second World War.

The Allies had built a makeshift harbor in Arromanches out of pontoons, concrete blocks, and shipwrecks, through which they brought in all their troops' supplies—soldiers, all kinds of vehicles, food, fuel, ammunition, tents—a gigantic logistical feat.

Hiking in March 2023
No water point on the course....
First part inland with superb views, the return by the path along the cliffs.
Given the landslides I think that one day this path will no longer be passable.
