The site is hidden inside fields to the side of the D514, which is the main road that goes from Osmanville to Grandcamp-Maisy. From Osmanville and/or the N13 motorway, follow the signs for Pointe du Hoc. As you enter Grandcamp, you will see a sign for the town on your right and we are located 200 metres after that on the left.
If you are coming to the site from the direction of Omaha Beach and Pointe du Hoc – then simply follow the roadsigns for Isigny-sur-Mer. Go through Grandcamp – (around the roundabout and straight up the road away from the harbour). About 600 metres later, you will go through the small village square of Maisy. There is a church on the left and a restaurant on the right; keep going along that main road. The site is about 400 metres away at the top of the hill in the direction of Isigny. There is a road sign at the end of the road and you turn right onto a small country road.
Once you are on Route des Perruques, we are about 500 metres down the lane on your left. You will see the site cabin with flags and the car park. But you cannot see the site – it was designed by the Germans to be hidden from the road, so you need to go into the cabin to get a site map. Then you can walk around the trenches, bunkers and tunnels at your leisure using the map.
