Normandy 1944
Arromanches-les-Bains / Mulberry Harbour
Site
The story
The logistics story: Port Winston let men, vehicles and supplies flow into Normandy. Read it as a system — offshore Phoenix caissons → floating roadways → shore discharge.
What to look for
View from beach level and from the heights; the harbour only makes sense across the whole bay.

Best around low tide, late afternoon.
