Pegasus Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

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)

Magnificent little church erected in the 12th century, with later additions up to the 17th century. And the cemetery has a water point just to the left of the entrance.
