A lovely seaside town. The Boulevard de Calvados forms an excellent car-free cycle route along the popular beach.

This monument commemorates the liberation of the city on June 7, 1944, a message from General Roosevelt which glorifies essential freedoms is engraved on a plaque. Next to it you can see a British Churchill Avre tank.

This Churchill tank belonged to the British 79th Armored Division. This unit was commanded by Major-General Sir Percy C. S. Hobart who was the initiator, among others, of this special armored division. It was almost entirely equipped with special armored vehicles, which were of great use on the day of the Normandy landings. This one was a Churchill Avre (Armoured Vehicle Royal Engineers), its turret was equipped with a 290 mm projectile launcher. This charge was intended to destroy fortifications or obstacles. This machine was donated by General Ian Harris who commanded the 2nd Battalion Royal Ulster Rifles on June 6, 1944.

Lion sur Mer

Highlight • Other

Lion-sur-Mer is a small seaside resort on the Côte de Nacre in Normandy, which first developed into a seaside resort in the second half of the 19th century, when wealthy summer vacationers built their beach villas here. The magnificent town hall of Lion-sur-Mer is also a beautiful sight. The small seaside resort of Hermanville-sur-Mer is in the immediate vicinity.

Langrune-sur-Mer

Highlight • Other

The name of this seaside resort is of the same Scandinavian origin as Greenland's (and also means "green land" in Danish), probably because of the abundance of seaweed, which makes the air smell of iodine. The beautiful two-storey bell tower of the 13th century church resembles the Eglise Saint-Pierre in Caen
