WW2 remnants

Patrimonie Jours here in France this weekend equivalent to our heritage days and we joined a group going around the freshly cleaned up and for today opened up military hospital behind the cliffs at Fecamp in Normandy. We walked past coastal blockhouses then down the path to the hospital entrance where we were fitted with audio headphones and torches. The hospital was dug out by local labour - out of work fisher people unable to ply their trade because of the occupation - and prisoners. For many years it remained closed up as townspeople tried to forget the memories of those years but a succeeding generation has become interested and we joined one of several groups of visitors over the weekend. I was fascinated by the regular strata of flints embedded in the chalk.
