Arromanches, a picturesque beach in Normandie, France, holds a significant place in history as one of the D-Day landing sites during World War II. The remnants of this momentous event can still be seen today. The HMS Colossus 15 proudly stands as a reminder of the brave soldiers who fought for freedom on these shores, also home to the Mulberry Harbour, an ingenious engineering feat that provided vital support to the Allied forces. This prefabricated port, equivalent in size to Gibraltar itself, played a crucial role in ensuring the success of the Normandy landings after D-Day. As you explore this charming coastal town, don't miss paying your respects at the Free French Air Force Memorial and take a stroll along its beautiful beach. A diorama harbour can even be found at Chartwell near Westerham, England – once Sir Winston Churchill's country house – showcasing its importance during those historic times. Today, Arromanches serves as both a poignant reminder and a symbol of resilience for all who visit this remarkable piece of Europe's past.
