Overview
Arromanches-les-Bains is a small Normandy seaside village famous for its pivotal role on D-Day, 6 June 1944. The central Gold Beach landing was followed by the construction of a Mulberry Harbour—temporary port structures towed across the Channel—that kept Allied forces supplied for ten months until ports like Cherbourg could be secured.
