   Pass through Arromanches-les-Bains, a coastal town closely linked to the success of the Allied invasion. Arromanches is famous for the remains of the Mulberry artificial harbor, an extraordinary engineering achievement created to support the landing forces after D-Day. These floating harbor structures allowed troops, vehicles, and supplies to be brought ashore, playing a crucial role in the Allied advance across Normandy.
