The Batteries of Longues-sur-Mer

The Longues-sur-Mer Battery is one of several coastal defense positions built by the Germans during World War II along the Normandy coast, as part of the Atlantic Wall. It is located on a cliff overlooking the English Channel, strategically placed between the landing beaches of Omaha Beach and Gold Beach.
Today, the Longues-sur-Mer battery is a site of memory and tourism. Bunkers, cannons and other military installations have been preserved and restored, providing visitors with insight into the history of World War II and German coastal defenses of the era. The site also offers panoramic views of the nearby landing beaches, making it a popular place to visit for fans of military history.
