The beautiful port town of Fecamp is a popular holiday spot and for concrete tourists there's a lot to see including over a dozen gun casemates spread across the hillsides, a stack of casemates on the cliff edge, and a huge radar facility.
Fecamp was split into around a dozen different strongpoints with bunkers built to protect the town, on the edge of the hill to cover the port area, and on the cliffs at the top of Cap Fagnet where a mixture of defensive structures and radar bunkers still remain.
After the fortress ports of Le Havre and Dieppe, Fecamp was the third most fortified port in this area of Normandy. Fecamp was occupied between June 9, 1940, and September 2, 1944.
Along the cliffs to the east of the port are several observation posts, one being part of Widerstandsnest Senneville, near to the village of Senneville-sur-Fecamp.
This large building has been destroyed by Allied engineers after the liberation of the area and its remains are close to the edge of the high cliffs so visiting isn’t recommended any more, especially given the number of cliff falls in this area in recent winters.
Senneville itself houses two large Vf unterstand personnel shelters, one on the D79 Rue de Longues Rayes and the second one Rue de la Briqueterie at the southern edge of the village.
Both look to be in good condition, and one is in use as a storage building for the owners o the house whose grounds the bunker stands in.
