Pointe du Hoc site
Taken by storm on the morning of 6 June by Colonel Rudder’s Rangers, this was one of the key strongholds of the German defences along the coast. Today, the site offers a glimpse of what an artillery battery was like, with its fire-control post, casemates and shelters… The site is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, but the Visitor Centre has specific opening hours. Toilets are available on site. The site is open to the public free of charge. For safety reasons, visitors must remain on the footpaths. Picnics and pets are not permitted on the site. The command post closes 30 minutes before the site closes. The site is currently undergoing restoration; work is scheduled to be completed in summer 2027.
