Stabilization work at Pointe du Hoc

Cliff recession

The cliff eroded naturally and moved back about ten meters in the past 60 years. The historical vestiges located at the top of Pointe du Hoc are now threatened by this erosion. ABMC‘s objective is to preserve these historic resources, and to allow the 500,000 annual visitors to visit them in safety. The stabilization works will protect and secure the blockhaus, allowing it to reopen by the end of 2010.
