Merville Battery (Batterie de Merville)

Merville Battery: World War II Bunkers & Paratrooper History

3.3 (4)

Skip the main tourist traps if you want real grit. This site preserves the concrete bunkers where British paratroopers staged a messy, essential assault on D-Day. Walk through the original gun emplacements and see the actual Douglas C-47 transport plane on display. You only need an hour here. Arrive right when it opens to beat the midday tour groups. It is raw history without the glossy museum filter, so bring a jacket even in summer.

Address: Place du 9ème Bataillon, Merville-Franceville-Plage, Normandy, 14810
