We are now closed for the season. We will reopen in April 2020. The Maisy Battery is a huge German WW2 Headquarters and Gun Batteries that was left buried in the fields of Normandy for the past 60 years. Only re-opened in 2006 this site now stands as the largest in Normandy of its type with over 3km of trenches open for you to see along side personnel buildings, ammunition tunnels, Hospitals and many more buildings that you can walk through and explore! Private tours are available on request taken by the owners. This is really a unique site to see on this coast! Please note: last entry is 1 hour before closing.

I visited the Maisy battery in May 2017, on my second trip to Normandy, having come across it while browsing the internet. I put it on the 'must see' list and was not disappointed. My friend and I arrived at the battery about half way through our trip and were impressed by the friendly and relaxed hosts. They were chatty and informative - a very pleasant conversation was enjoyed. The little office was packed with fantastic relics from WW2, some found at the battery itself and for sale at reasonable prices - a real plus in Normandy. The entrance price was also very reasonable. We spent at least 2 hours in the battery's trenches, gun pits and bunkers getting loads of great photos that I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at and reliving the good memory ever since. The weather on the day we visited was sunny and hot but we had brought wellies just in case of mud (think ahead for your visit). A camera is essential and a torch is always good to have with you as are decent walking shoes and a waterproof coat. We were in Normandy visiting the D-Day sites non-stop for 5 days and the Maisy Battery stands out among the many sites we visited (all the main ones). I rate it so highly because it has a real sense of authenticity about it. You can easily imagine something of what the site was like in the 1940s - more than the many other sites we visited. It's a very hands-on place to visit: you can handle the artillery guns & explore the bunkers without restriction. We are planning to return to Normandy in 2018 & the Maisy battery will not be by-passed by us. Well done the Sterns.
