Plage de Débarquement

So yesterday we went to the ‘plage de débarquement’.
This is the beach where, all those years ago, Allied troops landed to begin the liberation of southern France.
This event is still commemorated annually in Cavalaire, and in other towns along the coast.
August 15th, 1944, holds a special place in the hearts of the people from this region.
The beach itself is quite magnificent, kilometres of glorious sand.
Because of the curve of the bay, the views are slightly different from those of the town and port.
There are rock pools at the farthest point.
And there is a little pier to add to the pleasure.
Not to mention a freshwater creek, always good for amusing a dog.
