Arromanches-les-BainsArromanches-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.

Inaugurated in 2021, this memorial honors the 22,442 British soldiers who died in Normandy between 6 June and 31 August 1944.

During our visit, we provide an introduction onboard the coach, explain the Gold Beach landings on site, and allow time for guests to explore the memorial independently.
