Very pretty little road that winds between Reviers and Fontaine-Henry, bordered in places by the river "La Mue". Very beautiful bucolic place with the arrival in Fontaine-Henry and its old stones including the castle.

A moving combination of wartime artefacts and modern outdoor sculpture, including one of a present day WW2 veteran looking at an image of himself as a soldier in 1944.

These pontoons, made of concrete, were brought here from England and used to build a port to supply the Allies with men, weapons and equipment.

Here on the cliffs is the 360° museum/cinema. Impressive and oppressive at the same time.

As a memorial to the countless war dead, such a "Cimetiere militaire" - in German they are usually referred to as "war graves" or "soldiers' cemetery" - is still very important today. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." it says in the so-called "Hymn of Simeon" (Luke's Gospel, Chapter 2, Verse 29). However, the many people buried here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and an inhuman tyranny. The most important and at the same time everlasting function of soldiers' cemeteries or cemeteries of honor or war graves is therefore to keep the memory of this suffering alive and to remind each generation anew (!) of the need to maintain lasting peace.
