The Merville Battery, where you can understand how an artillery battery works, is a museum unlike any other.
The site of the German Merville Battery and its educational trail provides an insight into the workings of an artillery battery, its position in the Atlantic Wall and the daily lives of the soldiers stationed there. Rommel took a particular interest in this battery, which was responsible for defending the Orne estuary against an Allied incursion into the hinterland, up the river as far as Caen. For 10 km, the beaches to the west of Ouistreham were held under its fire. At the entrance, don’t miss the authentic Douglas C-47.
