In the small seaside village of Arromanches we could see the remains of the huge artificial Mulberry harbour that was constructed in Britain and dragged out to the French coast in sections for use during the landings. For 3 months after D-Day it was the biggest port in the world. It was an incredible feat of engineering. We visited the Musée du Débarquement and the 360° cinema on the hill, both very informative and interesting.
Dad dropped Mum and I off at the German pillboxes at Longues-sur-Mer and we walked back to Port en Bessin along the clifftops.
In the evening we had a nice dinner in the small restaurant Le Vauban. We liked it so much we booked a table for the following night too.
