The Cross of Lorraine, a majestic landmark for Seine sailors.
The Croix de Lorraine was raised on 16 June 1990 on the boundary of the communes of Graye-sur-Mer and Courseulles, in the area known as La Brèche de Graye. It stands on the site where General de Gaulle set foot in the liberated land, on 14 June 1944, after crossing the Channel on board the French destroyer La Combattante. Visible from very far away with its 18 metres high, from the Barfleur Raz in Le Havre, it has today become one of the main buoys (or landmarks on the coasts) for all sailors in the Bay of the Seine.

Bien que très historique, La Croix n'a rien de bien particulier, mais une ballade dans ce secteur en vaut la peine en marchant dans le sable, il y a également les vestiges d'un bunker pas très loin.

Je ne critique pas le fait historique puisque c'est là que le Général De Gaulle posa le pied lors de son "débarquement" en France mais c'est juste une grande croix de Loraine même pas très jolie planté là.
