The battery is 8 km (5.0 mi) east of the Houlgate battery. A French naval coastal battery was on the site from 1935 to 1940. In 1940 the guns were put out of action before the site was captured by advancing German troops in 1940. Much of the site is now a nature reserve and the bunker complex is open to the public and guided tours take place throughout the summer. (en)
