Geschichte
Arromanches-les-Bains played a pivotal role during World War II as the site of the Mulberry artificial harbour, constructed shortly after the D-Day landings in June 1944.
This innovative harbour allowed the Allies to rapidly offload troops and supplies, facilitating the liberation of Western Europe.
The town has since commemorated this history through museums and memorials, including the Arromanches 360 Circular Cinema, which opened to provide an immersive historical account of the Battle of Normandy.
Over the decades, Arromanches has evolved from a wartime logistics hub to a peaceful seaside resort and a center for historical tourism.
