| Description |
Arromanches (properly "Arromanches-les-Bains") in Normandy played an important part in the D-Day landings in June 1944. It was here that the "Mulberry" temporary harbour was constructed after having been towed from England in parts and re-assembled here. It greatly helped in landing heavy machinery (such as tanks and lorries) as well as reinforcements of soldiers. A similar harbour was set up at Omaha Beach for the American forces. The harbour at Arromanches was used for 10 months and then abandoned as no longer needed. Over time it has been broken up by the action of sea but several pieces can still be seen. My view is from near the modern visitor centre that has been constructed above the town. (Google traduction) Arromanches (proprement "Arromanches-les-Bains") en Normandie a joué un rôle important dans les débarquements du jour J en juin 1944. C'est ici que le port temporaire "Mulberry" fut construit après avoir été remorqué de l'Angleterre par endroits et ré-assemblé ici. Il a grandement aidé à l'atterrissage des engins lourds (tels que les chars et les camions) ainsi que des renforts de soldats. Un port similaire a été mis en place à Omaha Beach pour les forces américaines. Le port d'Arromanches a été utilisé pendant 10 mois puis abandonné car il n'était plus nécessaire. Au fil du temps, il a été brisé par l'action de la mer, mais plusieurs pièces peuvent encore être vus. Mon point de vue est le centre d'accueil moderne qui a été construit au-dessus de la ville. |
