You step out of a Mercedes V‑Class onto a wind‑cut strip of sand where the English Channel still pushes stories ashore. Courseulles’ shore light is flat and clear; gulls wheel above the pale concrete of wartime defenses that keep their mute vigil. The guide closes the door and a careful, matter‑of‑fact narration begins — dates, units, and the human cost — while the sea keeps moving on its old timetable.
