Pointe De Suzac

Reviewed By nnmercman - Camberley, United Kingdom

I've an interest in military history and when these fortifications were mentioned to me I decided it would be a good opportunity to visit them whilst my wife sunbathed on the nearby beach of Saint-George! You can easily see the damaged headland where American bombers dropped their loads during late 1944/early 1945. From the end of the beach it's an easy walk or you can park your car (except mid Jun-mid Aug) at the end of the cliff path along Chemin du Fort Suzac. The headland had historical fortifications before those built by the German army during WW2 but it's those buildings which now stand in silent defiance. The large bunkers and emplacements are testament to their strength and design, even after receiving direct bomb hits the damage is superficial. I suspect the occupants were probably killed by concussion rather than bomb damage and there are many near miss bomb craters all around. Information panels around the site detail the layout and history as well as the total destruction of nearby Royan (which I believe stemmed from a communication problem between French and US commanders). Looking inside the bunkers and emplacements you can understand their strategic importance in guarding the Gironde Estuary, as well as getting a feel of their solidity. If you look at the U Boat pens at La Rochelle, you'll understand the sheer amount of effort it would take to dismantle/destroy these type of structures, which is why they'll probably be standing forever as testament to what happened over 70yrs ago.
