  Arromanches-les-Bains

  SECTOR OPTION ENGLISH Your pilot will take you to Arromanches-les-Bains. It was on this beach that, during the Battle DE Normandy, immediately after D-Day on June 6, 1944, the Allies established Mulberry Port B, a temporary artificial port to allow the landing DE heavy equipment, without waiting for the conquest DE ports EN eaux deep DE, such as those of Le Havre or Cherbourg (Cherbourg-EN-Cotentin since 2016). Although located in DE center DE the Gold Beach landing zone, Arromanches was spared the brunt of the fighting on D-Day. In order to allow the installation of a harbour and its smooth operation as quickly as possible, the beach should not be degraded and the nearby communication routes should not be preserved. English troops landed further east, between Asnelles and Ver-sur-mer, and liberated Arromanches by land on the evening of 6 June. The port was therefore commissioned EN 14 June.
