The Ardouval site was one of the V1 launch sites set up by the Germans to destroy London.

In the summer of 1943, Nazi Germany decided to bring into service secretly developed weapons, the V1 and V2: 400 V1 launch pads were installed from Dunkirk to Cherbourg, some thirty kilometres from the coast. The goal? To destroy London. In Seine-Maritime, among the 117 positions identified, the Val Ygot site is on the edge of the Eawy forest. At the end of 1943, when it was almost finished, Allied bombs stopped the work and the ramp was abandoned. In the spring of 1944, 9 other V2 ramps were built there, and were very active .

Un monument de l'histoire très bien conservé grâce aux bénévoles. Ça nous permet de réaliser la dimension de ces fameux V1 si dévastateur sur Londres. Visite gratuite qui dure environ 45min. Une belle balade chargée d'histoire

Die Gedenkstätte Val Ygot in der Normandie ist eine bewegende Hommage an die tapferen Soldaten, die während der Operation Overlord im Zweiten Weltkrieg kämpften. Neben den eindringlichen Bunkern und Gedenkstätten ist die V1-Raketenabschussrampe ein faszinierendes Relikt aus jener Zeit. Diese Abschussrampe erinnert an die erschütternden Angriffe mit den V1-Flugbomben, die während des Krieges eingesetzt wurden.

Besonders beeindruckend ist, dass der Eintritt zu dieser Gedenkstätte kostenlos ist. Trotzdem bietet sie eine reiche Erfahrung und eine tiefe Einblicke in die Geschichte. Ein Besuch lohnt sich definitiv, um die Opfer zu ehren und die Ereignisse des Zweiten Weltkriegs zu reflektieren.

Visite d'une bonne quarantaine de minutes en prenant notre temps.
Entrée gratuite (hors visite guidée), vraiment top ! ????
