Coming from Saint-Côme-de-Fresné and going towards Arromanches, at the top of the cliff, on an esplanade, there is a rather special orientation table.
To access it, you have to climb a few steps and you discover plates placed in a circle. On the ground, there is a wind rose made of small colored pebbles.
Red and black plates locate the various events and places of the landing as well as the forces present.
From there, we have a very beautiful panorama on the port of Arromanches as well as on the vestiges of the port head-of-bridge of June 6, 1944.
