I walked along the beach to Pointe De Suzac and noticed the park on the left as I climbed towards the fortifications on the headland.

Seemed rather comatose but it was very hot. There are a lot of brochures but the staff were not very proactive perhaps they found that difficult!

8. Pointe De Suzac

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.

Biais d'une balade rando " facile " Départ de la fin de la plage de Royan à gauche par un chemin puis à droite et continuez sur la route de la Corniche jusqu'au phare.
Son originalité c'est sa forme: une tour carrée en pierre de taille de 36 mètres et 144 marches pour 2 euros et de son sommet, la vue s'étend sur une partie de la côte de Beauté, les côtes médocaines toutes proches et la pointe de Suzac.
En contre bas un petit port fortifié par une digue impressionnante " a voir en marée haute " C'est une Promenade sympathique pour prendre un bol d'air et de découvrir une flore et de jolis panoramas......... Demi tour ou vous continuez jusqu'à la pointe de Suzac." Voir commentaires "
