PARIS–CAEN–ARROMANCHES-LES-BAINS–CAEN
Heroic Harbor
Bid au revoir to Paris and embark on a moving and fascinating journey into Normandy. In Caen, visit the Memorial Museum for Peace. Continue to Arromanches to experience archive images in the 360 circular cinema. See the remnants of Mulberry Harbour at Arromanches-Les-Bains and the German artillery bunkers at Longues-sur-Mer. Later, return to Caen for free time this evening. (B)208 mi / 335 kmTOUR HIGHLIGHT LEGENDARY LIVES When British troops landed on Gold Beach on the morning of June 6, 1944, the town of Arromanches-les-Bains was saved from destruction, thanks to the artificial Mulberry Port, constructed by the Allied Forces. Nearly 25,000 British troops from the 50th British Infantry Division landed on the area, successfully taken by Allied forces late afternoon on D-Day, June 6th. While the Allied forces did not actually land at Arromanches-les-Bains in June 1944, the beaches were a critical factor in the victory of the Battle of Normandy. Vestiges of the manmade Mulberry Port are fascinating to see, while learning about the historic day at the D-day Museum in Arromanches is inspiring indeed.
