The Merville Battery, where you can understand how an artillery battery works, is a museum unlike any other.

The site of the German Merville Battery and its educational trail provides an insight into the workings of an artillery battery, its position in the Atlantic Wall and the daily lives of the soldiers stationed there. Rommel took a particular interest in this battery, which was responsible for defending the Orne estuary against an Allied incursion into the hinterland, up the river as far as Caen. For 10 km, the beaches to the west of Ouistreham were held under its fire. At the entrance, don’t miss the authentic Douglas C-47.

Goed onderhouden en Prachtige museum veel informatie en een gaaf presentatie over hoe het ongeveer in de bunker ging toen het werd aangevallen als je d day tour doet dan moet je zeker deze mee pakken

Très beau site bien conservé, un grand hangar abrite un avion qui peut être sorti quand la météo le permet. Un parcours vous feras visiter l’ensemble des casemates, chacune ayant son propre thème et explications. Un son et lumière plutôt réussi est également présent dans une des casemates.

Very informative. There should be no more wars in this world. ???? so painful to watch, but it is necessary to understand how wars are not good in life.
