Overlord Museum

Fr:Plus d'un millier de ponts seront utilisés en Normandie pendant la guerre.
Ce pont a été érigé en 1944 à Pont D 'Ouilly par le génie anglais avec le nom de baptême "Jacqueline Bridge".
Démantelé après la guerre, il est transféré à côté d'une route secondaire traversant la rivière Noireau à Cahan dans l'Orne. Il restera là jusqu'en 2004, deviendra trop vieux, il sera sauvé de la destruction et placé ici.
Il est placé au-dessus d'un plan d'eau, en bordure de la route le long du musée.
Le but est de le présenter au public tel qu'il était en situation durant la guerre .
