Came here with the kids , they wanted to see an authentic gun placement and this is probably the best there is to see . A somber place but an important place to see . Brings home the true horror of the war from both sides.
Excellent! Beautifully peserved German batteries! One destroyed, three intact, a must see on the to Omaha beach!!
This is a very well preserved battery with guns still in place and you can see the signs of battle on the guns inflicted on D-day
We had a bit of difficulty finding the site - not well sign posted and a confusing local road network but definitely worth the effort. 4 bunkers and 3 guns still in place. Helps to better understand what happened on 6 June 1944 - dueling with ships offshore, covering the landing beaches. The effort to construct must have been enormous - all for one day!
Well preserved site, free but well presented with information boards. Wear stout footwear if its wet. Original guns are awesome as well as views across bay to Arromanches
This is the only surviving inland bunkers so they are a must see. You can explore them and see the actual gun pieces still undisturbed.
Can not believe that it is 70 years old and not in bad shape.Guns in place and such a great drive thru the towns leading to the area.Lots of places to take pictures both there and on the drive.Grat views of some of the cliffs of the area.went late in the day and had the place to ourselves.
The German cement bunkers remaining at the Longues-sur-Mer site are an historical reminder of the unspeakable horrors of war, and specifically of the happenings in June 1944. It’s remarkable that visitors can walk right up to the guns and on top of, inside of, and all around most of the bunkers; there are only a couple of areas fenced off by barbed wire. Only minimal damage was caused by the Allied bombing before the German major surrendered the site. Humanity is lucky that someone had the foresight to maintain the site and prevented most of it from being dismantled after the war. History is well-served by the preservation of the site at Longues-sur-Mer.
shows how Atlantic Wall would have looked then bristling with guns.Must seeHas guided tours.Classicall ages to tourFor vets esp.
This stop provided and interesting walk to see the gun batteries. Compared to the batteries at Pointe du Hoc, these are quite intact. Choose a day with good weather, because you will be outside.
