A major site during the Normandy Landings, the Merville Battery was one of the strategic targets stormed on the night of 5 to 6 June 1944 by the British paratroopers of the 6th Airborne.
With a mix of emotion, education and immersion, the tour helps visitors understand the strategic importance of this German position and the courage of the men who stormed it on the eve of D-Day.
