Arromanches-les-Bains : The Battle of Arromanches

— Mon village se raconte —

En français:
Arromanches possédait une batterie de deux pièces d'artillerie depuis 1793. Située à la base de la falaise Est, cette batterie s'illustra lors de la bataille navale de 1811. Six canonnières venant de Boulogne faisaient route vers Cherbourg, en longeant la côte. Elles étaient équipées de quatre canons chacune. Ayant aperçu au large d'Arromanches trois navires anglaise de taille et de force plus importantes, elles s'approchèrent d'Arromanches qu'elles savaient défendue par une batterie. La bataille s'engagea le 7 septembre.
La batterie d'Arromanches porta aide aux navires français qui remportèrent le combat le 8 septembre. Un monument au sommet de la falaise Est commémore cette victoire.

English:
Arromanches had a battery with two pieces of artillery from 1793. The battery, which was situated at the base of the east cliff, won renown in the naval battle of 1811. Six gunboats from Boulogne were travelling to Cherbourg along the coast, each containing four cannons. They noticed three English ships, of larger size and strength, off Arromanches. They therefore approached Arromanches, which they knew was defended by a battery. The battle began on 7 September.

The Arromanches battery helped the French ships. They won the battle on 8 September. A monument at the top of the east cliff commemorates this victory.
