Just to the north of Barfleur there is a very different Strong Point.
Apart from the gun emplacement at Neville sur Mer it is the only place the
Germans installed concrete trenches, It makes you think that the officer
stationed here had seen service in WWI.
The strong point has no large weapons, limited to machine guns and mortars, some
built into the same tobruks..
The trenches of which only the western portion still remains intact.
The eastern end has been swallowed up by a fish farm who also use some trenches
as waste water outlets.
The trenches that run along the beach and even have firing positions built into
them.
The underground bunkers are quite interesting, being a real mixture, roof beams
of the wrong length, and partly made of corrugated iron.
