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 .

Abbiamo trovato questo posto casualmente lungo il nostro itinerario e ne siamo rimasti colpiti.
Si tratta di un sito di lancio di bombe V1 della seconda guerra mondiale.
Molto suggestivo e sicuramente da visitare con una guida.
Consigliato.

Une tranche d'histoire dans ce lieu... Nous voici ici sur un site de lancement de missile V1 de la seconde guerre mondiale ! Une association dédiée s'occupe d'entretenir l'endroit. Si vous avez un peu de chance et que vous croisez les membres de l'association, n'hésitez pas à parler avec eux ! Ce sont des experts du lieu !! Mais si il n'y a personne, des panneaux explicatifs détaillés vous expliqueront la fonction de chaque relique croisée ! Au delà du missile V1 et sa rampe de lancement, vous trouverez le quartier des officiers, la station de pompage et... d'autres surprises ! J'ai un faible pour le bâtiment a-magnétique, parallèle à la rampe de lancement, qui servait à calibrer notement les gyroscopes des missiles...
Magnifique lieu chargé d'histoire... et à préserver ! ????
