Small Group: Gold Beach Sector Morning Tour Re-live in a few hours the D-Day landing of the British troops on Gold Beach, North East of Bayeux. They were the first British soldiers to land in Normandy on June 6, 1944 at 7:25am. At the end of this crucial day, most of the objectives of those 25 000 soldiers were successfully done, such as the liberation of Arromanches, the connection with the Canadian forces landing on Juno to the East and the approach of Bayeux and the precious National Road 13. You will discover in a few kilometer distance various aspects of the Battle of Normandy with the unique and almost intact German gun battery of Longues-sur-Mer - one of the most ambitious projects in military history through the artificial harbor of Arromanches.
LONGUES-SUR-MER gun battery:
The battery at Longues-sur-Mer was composed of four guns of 152 mm caliber, capable of firing shells to a maximum range of 15 miles, allowing them to reach not only Omaha Beach, 8 miles to the west, but also the British landing zone.
