About Longues-sur-Mer Battery
The Longues-sur-Mer Battery is a preserved German WWII coastal artillery position built in 1943-1944 as part of the Atlantic Wall. Located between Gold Beach and Omaha Beach, it features four concrete casemates housing original 150mm Skoda naval guns with a 20-kilometer range. This is the only D-Day battery where the original armament remains in place.

From €6 / person — all tickets and transport included — transit route with total cost breakdown
French Resistance members worked among the local laborers during construction. They secretly provided intelligence to the Allies about the battery's layout and deliberately sabotaged the concrete mix in one casemate, weakening its structural integrity before D-Day.
