Once upon a time, Arromanches-les-Bains was a Victorian vacation spot, perfect for taking the waters or playing games on the beach.In 1944, Arromanches became the sight of Port Winston Harbor, an artificial "Mulberry" harbor created to move massive amounts of supplies to the Allies following D-Day or le jour J.
Today, all that remains of the Mulberry harbor are the hulking skeletons of the caissons. . . .
Visited by fishermen . . .
harness riders . . .
Today, Arromanches is a beach town, not unlike any other beach town, quietly waiting for summer.
