Batteries des Longues

Highlight • Other

A once formidable German coastal battery. Despite the 600 tons of bombs dropped by 124 RAF aircraft on the night of 5/6 June, the four guns were still intact the next morning. At 5:37 am they opened fire. The French cruiser Georges-Leygues was the first to answer the German attack, followed by the Montcalm and the American battleship Arkansas. The battery was not finally silenced until 7 pm by two direct hits from the French cruiser Georges-Leygues. The battery, which stands on a picturesque cliff, had four 150mm guns with a range of 20 km. The observation and command post that stood 300m in front of the bunkers on the edge of the cliff was the scene of one of the most famous scenes from the movie The Longest Day.

Longues-sur-Mer Battery

Highlight • Historical Site

An impressive, very well preserved part of the North Atlantic Wall. Quite lonely during the week in March and therefore even more impressive and almost spooky if you are there all alone

A beautiful bike path in Manvieux

Firm smooth gravel pavement on this coastal bike trail through the fields from Manvieux to the beach, without car traffic

Gold Beach - Arromanches

Highlight • Beach

The site of one of 5 D-Day landings on June 6th 1844. Also the start of an epic route into the heart of Normandy, Angers. A historic coastline with a great musuem.

Singletrack along the rugged coastline

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Single track? Yes, mountain bike path? Not really. Parts impassable. More of a hiking trail than a mountain bike trail.
