Arromanches-les-Bains (or, simply Arromanches) is a French commune in the Calvados department in the Normandie region of north-western France.
The inhabitants of the commune are known as Arromanchais or Arromanchaises
The commune has been awarded one flower by the National Council of Towns and Villages in Bloom in the Competition of cities and villages in Bloom.
Arromanches-les-Bains is located some 12 km north-east of Bayeux and 10 km west of Courseulles-sur-Mer on the coast in the heart of the area where the Normandy landings took place on D-Day, 6 June 1944. Access to the commune is by the D514 road from Tracy-sur-Mer in the west passing through the town and continuing to Saint-Côme-de-Fresné in the east. The D87 road also goes from the town south to Ryes. The D65 road goes east to Meuvaines. About a third of the commune is the urban area of the town with the rest farmland.
Arromanches is remembered as a historic place of the Normandy landings and in particular as the place where an artificial port was installed. This artificial port allowed the disembarkation of 9,000 tons of material per day.
Kelly wrote this march for the 1948 Kneller Hall March Contest. With the 4/7th Dragoon Guards Kelly took part into the landing in Normandy on D Day, june the 6th 1944; actually he was injured himself at the end of july. 'ARROMANCHES' is a suiting tribute to the heroes of the Allied landings at Arromanches. For more information: http://www.molenaar.com/web/Details.aspx?isartist=0&id;=9626
Le port Mulberry est un port artificiel construit sur la côte normande pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale pour permettre l'approvisionnement des Alliés dans les jours qui suivirent le débarquement de Normandie. En fait, deux ports furent assemblés au large des plages du Calvados, mais seul celui d'Arromanches sera opérationnel, le second devant Omaha Beach étant détruit par une tempête le 19 juin 1944. La construction de ce port évitait aux Alliés de devoir prendre directement un port en eau profonde. Le port Mulberry était constitué de différents grands éléments préfabriqués en Angleterre, acheminés et assemblés sur la côte normande. Ce port artificiel a souvent été mis en avant comme ayant permis la réussite de la bataille de Normandie et présenté comme un exemple de génie et logistique ...

Extrait du documentaire "Ils ont inventé le Débarquement"
Exploit technique, le port artificiel d'Arromanches, édifié par les forces alliés dans la foulée du débarquement du 6 juin 1944, est aujourd'hui menacé de voir ses derniers vestiges disparaître faute de rénovation de grande ampleur.

The Coast of Normandy please read more: https://blog.myvideomedia.com/coast-of-normandy/ The coast of Normandy has wonderful flat sandy beaches. Up to 30 m high rock faces that are rarely broken by small valleys, raise just behind. Die Küste der Normandie hat wunderbare flache Sandstrände, hinter denen sich ca. 30 m hohe Felswände erheben, die nur selten durch kleine Täler durchbrochen sind.
En Arromanches se construyó el puerto provisional más grande hasta la fecha. Una infraestructura gigantesca para suplir del material necesario a las tropas aliadas para culminar con éxito la liberación de Francia de la ocupación nazi. Una barbaridad de varios kilómetros de longitud que sólo puede dejar con la boca abierta a quién lo ve in situ.
