Merci à l'Union des Commerçants de Tessy Bocage pour la 2éme édition de la Guinguette.

Le groupe EVASION était super, bonne chanson.

Peut-être faudra-t-il prévoir un troisième stand de nourriture sur le site pour limiter les heures d'attentes....

Mais bravo pour vos dévouement à tous

Beaches of the D-Day Landings, Normandy, 1944

The serial property comprises six component parts along approximately 80 km of the Normandy coastline, encompassing Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword Beaches, as well as Pointe du Hoc.

These sites are directly associated with the Allied landings of 6 June 1944, the opening phase of Operation Overlord, which marked the beginning of the liberation of Western Europe from N**i occupation during the Second World War.

The property preserves significant remains of the German Atlantic Wall, including casemates, artillery batteries, fire‑control posts, and resistance nests, alongside battlefield traces, original wartime equipment, and major commemorative landscapes such as the American Cemetery at Colleville‑sur‑Mer.

Together, these elements form an exceptional cultural landscape shaped both by the events of 1944 and by their enduring remembrance.

Ranville Bridge – HORSA BRIDGE: major repair works to begin on 17 August

The Calvados Department is carrying out a complete refurbishment of the Ranville Bridge from Monday 17 August 2026. This major project will last four months to ensure your journeys are safe. During the works, road traffic will be diverted, but pedestrians and cyclists will still be able to cross.

Why is this work necessary?

Originally built in 1871 and replaced in 1971, the Ranville Bridge carries 6,000 vehicles every day. Over time, wear and tear has caused water ingress and damaged the concrete and metal structure. To ensure your safety and the bridge’s structural integrity, the Department has decided to carry out extensive repairs. The structure will be completely refurbished.

In addition, the bridge will be stripped and repainted. To protect the River Orne, watertight scaffolding will prevent any debris from falling into the water whilst the work is in progress.

How this will affect your journeys

To carry out these repairs safely, the bridge will be closed to cars and lorries from Monday 17 August for a period of four months. (Subject to favourable weather conditions).

If you are travelling by car or lorry: a 14.4 km diversion is in place. You will need to go via Colombelles (via the RD 402 and RD 403).

If you’re a pedestrian or cyclist: good news – you can still get through! We’re maintaining safe access throughout the work. Cyclists must walk their bikes across this section.

And afterwards? A new cycle path is on the way

Once this project is complete, the Department will be extending its work a few months later, in 2027, for cyclists and walkers on this section of the Vélomaritime. A safe cycle path 2.40 metres wide will be created directly on the bridge, all the way to the roundabout, to make it even easier for you to get around.
