Ouistreham Beach

Highlight • Beach

A very beautiful, almost endless beach. In this beach, the English Impressionist Richard Bonington had already fallen in love in 1821, where he painted his first known oil painting, "Près de Ouistreham".

This beach is the only one of the five landing beaches where French commandos landed. For this reason, flags and monuments are erected there. It was named Sword Beach.
