About Port-en-Bessin-Huppain, Normandy
The village is home to an active fishing fleet and it's not uncommon to see colourful fishing boats bobbing quietly in the harbour as fishermen prepare the day's catch. Fresh seafood is a local delicacy and local restaurants serve delicious dishes ranging from moules marinières (mussels in white wine sauce) to perfectly cooked cod.
Port-en-Bessin-Huppain also has a strategic importance in history. During World War II, the village played a key role as one of the Allies' important harbours during D-Day. The small town, which survived the war almost unscathed, is still full of traces of its military history and visitors can explore bunkers and memorials that bear witness to the past.
One of the most striking features of Port-en-Bessin-Huppain is its picturesque harbour promenade. Here you can stroll along the quay, admire the colourful boats and enjoy the fresh sea air. The old town, with its cobbled streets and charming shops, adds an extra dimension of authenticity to the experience.
