On Saturday, July 16, the Merville battery hosted the first concert of the Hameau Fleuri summer festival. The spectators were able to discover Kaoli ISSHIKI, soprano, Théophile ALEXANDRE, countertenor as well as Frédéric GAUTHIER and Raphaël SIMON at the marimbas. The concert was followed by a cocktail on the site of the battery.
The Merville Battery is a formidable German Army fortification which was located on the Eastern flank of the Allied landings on 6 June 1944.
Bombed several times without success, it was neutralised by the 9th British Parachute Battalion after an assault of unbelievable ferocity.
On this completely preserved historical site, an educational trail takes you on a voyage of discovery of the Battery’s history as you walk between the various blockhouses.
