Château de Bénouville — open to visitors
Highlight • Other
Here is the translation of the information panel:
Bénouville Castle, built in the neoclassical style, is set in a beautiful park and was built between 1769 and 1785.
It is one of the few remaining examples of the work of Enlightenment architect Claude-Nicolas Ledoux.
The department acquired the castle in 1927 and now wants to make it accessible to the widest possible public by opening it to visitors.

Kieffer Commando Memorial (La Flamme), Ouistreham
Highlight • Monument
In a beautiful park on the coast is this monument of the No. 4 Commandos of Lt. Kieffer, who came ashore in the early morning of June 6, 1944 to neutralize the batteries of Ouistreham.
The monument is located on a German 644 bunker that was part of Stützpunkt 08 HKB Riva Bella. The Stützpunkt with 6 155mm guns served to defend the entrance to the river Orne and the canal.
The Regelbau 644 is a "Stand with 6-Schartenturm in A".
The stones in front of the monument bear the names of the fallen French commandos of June 6, 1944.
