These pontoons, made of concrete, were brought here from England and used to build a port to supply the Allies with men, weapons and equipment.

This part of the beaches and Arromanche is truly magnificent, and the historical side of the landing adds to the charm of this small seaside resort. Frankly, from Ouistreham to Omaha Beach, I really enjoyed this gravel hike, which will remain etched in my memory. If you are in this area, on foot, by bike, I invite you to come and stroll around here.

Four of the gun turrets with cannons are still preserved. They were initially bombed unsuccessfully during the invasion in 1944 and then knocked out by warships a day later. This again shows the senselessness of war.

Beautiful romantic section of the cycle path. Only the climb from Arromanche with 10% is hard, the test is pleasant to ride.
