: OTPV
Description
The observatory faces the D-Day landing beaches, some 30 km away, which can be seen on a clear day. A map depicts the Allied advance from June 6 to 13, 1944. The commune of Caumont l'Eventée was liberated on June 13 by General Clarence Huebner's 1st American Infantry Division, the "Big Red One".
On the same site, a memorial stele commemorates the 60th anniversary of the Battle of Normandy.
The Cerisy national forest, Bayeux Cathedral and the Sallen wind turbines are the main features of this viewpoint over this typical bocage landscape.
