So that Knowledge feeds Memory

Actions of the Conservatoire du Littoral
The Conservatoire du Littoral, in collaboration with Airborne Assault Normandy and the Municipality of Merville-Franceville, has preserved the authenticity of the Merville Battery site by purchasing the land.
You can now discover one of the most important places of 6 June, a historic site that has been completely preserved since the end of the war and which now extends over more than 10 hectares. In addition to a command post and about ten blockhouses, it has four formidable pillboxes whose fire could enfilade Sword beach and endanger the eastern sector of the Allied landing.
