Stop atArromanches-les-Bains

Arromanches-les-Bains played a vital logistical role in the D-Day landings of 1944, not 1941. It was the site of Mulberry B, one of two artificial harbours constructed by the Allies to facilitate rapid offloading of troops, vehicles, and supplies onto the beaches of Normandy. Within days of the landings, this prefabricated port allowed the unloading of thousands of tons of equipment, essential for sustaining the Allied advance into occupied France. Despite harsh weather that damaged other supply points, Mulberry B at Arromanches remained operational and was crucial to the success of the Normandy campaign. Remnants of the harbour are still visible today.
