| Description | The “Grand Bunker” constitutes the last visible remnant of most powerful German coastal battery in the area. Museum of the Atlantic Wall You will discover, on five levels, all the interior rooms which have been reconstructed down to the smallest detail: The Grand Bunker of the former Command and Fire Direction Post has been completely renovated in order to house a Museum entirely dedicated to the Atlantic Wall in Normandy. After having belonged to the French Navy, the founders wanted this unique blockhouse to regain its original appearance. A remarkable construction, since it is a Sonderkonstruktion, all the rooms were refurbished in a remarkable way, with very abundant and authentic material. The founders took full advantage of this 17-meter high construction to put into context and present the essential functions that characterized the life of the defensive positions of the Atlantic Wall facing the D-Day landings. The founders of the Museum wanted to offer the visit the 5 levels of this blockhouse in which was installed the nerve center of the command of the defenses of the estuary of the Orne, in order to reconstruct and restore the atmosphere which could reign in this one. here on the eve of D-Day! |
