Once a gateway to the Maison de Blais? The fence or gate now seems a bit lost, but the open strip provides a beautiful view over the gardens of the Maison and the church tower of Crépon.

Nice route to walk. The last part was a less good road. Lots of vegetation over the road and high nettles.

Lantheuil Castle was built in the 17th century in the style of Louis XIII. In the 18th century, the view you see today was built. 800 meters long, it is called the avenue of honor. It is bordered by two rows of purple and green beech trees which are now around 300 years old.

R669 is the callsign for this group of bunkers. Set back from the coast and close to the Château de la Marefontaine, they were known as the Marefontaine Battery.

A British Churchill AVRE as a glorious monument of the landings on June 6, 1944. On D-Day, this specific example failed to overcome an anti-tank ditch located 100 meters south. The crew had no choice but to abandon the tank, suffering heavy losses under enemy fire. https://www.tracesofwar.nl/sights/1003/Churchill-AVRE-Tank---One-Charlie.htm
