Visited Maisy Battery today and explored every trench and bunker on site. It was an intense and unforgettable experience. The layout is incredibly well-preserved, giving a real sense of what the soldiers went through. I was astonished to learn that the entire site had been buried and forgotten until 2006. It made the visit even more powerful. I couldn’t stop thinking about the young lives lost on both sides. This place is a moving lesson in history and a reminder of why peace matters.
Awesome experience for those who understand and appreciate history. The bunkers were fascinating and the trenchwork takes one back in time. There are still ghosts of the past loitering on the grounds. Great outing for those who have a desire to learn and experience.
Worth a visit, if only to feel the atmosphere here. And to learn about the bravery of the Rangers that took this place. Howitzers in great condition. No toilets though, you have to go in the local village
Amazing Battery!! Well, I can understand that most museums need to be educational and to some extent entertaining for children, there is no comparison to this incredible site. An area of trenches and battle Hardened concrete bunkers complete with large calibre guns. It’s like as if you turned up on the 7th of June 1944. The entire site stretches over about 2km square and was buried after it was overrun by the Rangers two days after D-Day. It was only rediscovered about 20 years ago, and now is a “living museum” of gun emplacements and command bunkers. Best of all, even as midday at the height of the holiday season it was almost empty. One of the best kept secrets, unlike the highly popular and numerous D-Day museums dotted across the coast. A real experience of the war. I’d highly recommend a visit.
This was an interesting visit and gave a good view of how the soldiers have lived there. These items were still intact and definitely worth a visit. You don’t see anything from the structure outside.
An interesting historical site, but a little less maintained than one would hope. Some paths are closed off and overgrown. Also noteworthy is that there is no furniture, only the husks of bunkers and gun platforms as well as some artillery guns. Not as fairly priced as other attractions in the regions, but can still be worth a visit for those who want to see structures rather than artifacts.
Walking through the trenches at Marisy Battery certainly feels that you get there experience of what it might have been like back in 1944. You can only imagine what day-to-day life was like before D-Day invasion happened. I would certainly recommend going and I’d also like to say thank you to Emma who gave us a lot of background information. Pleasure to meet her and some of the stories. 👍🏻👍🏻 thank you so much.
Fascinating delve into German WWII battery which remained active for three days after D-Day. Was buried after the war only to emerge in 2006. For the most part, extremely well-preserved.

Wonderful statue at the gateway to Grandcamp-Maisy.
Really impressive statue with a hopeful message.
A wonderful picnic spot as long as you don't mind eating next to a cemetery which is why I assume we were able to find a table in tourist season.
The most beautiful piece of sculpture I've ever seen. It obviously is placed in Normandy for a reason.
Amazing Statue and a beautiful tribute to an American soldier.
Nothing to see except the statue and well maintained garden
Amazing statue and one of the highlights of our trip. Simply stunning!
Stopped on our way to Point du Hoc. It's a beautiful spot.
