We're on the coast at an aire at Veulettes sur Mer. On the hillside is an old German lookout post. We walked up there. There are many boards explaining all about the use during WW2. A few of the details that I can remember are that it was used for training. It was also manned by multiple battalions who passed through. The Germans dammed the river to flood the flat valley to prevent anyone landing there.
For anyone interested in this sort of thing the information on the boards is very informative.

And looking out to sea
One of the information boards. Unfortunately the colours of the others made photos difficult.
