Beautiful castle on the banks of the Canal de Caen à la mer. Nice walk next to it along the cycle path. The famous Pegasus Bridge is right next door and easy to reach on foot.

A huge building with a large park. 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.

The capture of the bridge was necessary to militarily secure the left flank of the invasion beach Sword Beach.

Bénouville Castle was built from 1768 to 1785 by the Marquis de Livry. For most of the 20th century, the castle served as an orphanage and then the regional chamber of accounts moved there in 1990. Since then, it is possible to visit the castle and the exhibitions it houses.

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)
