What travelers are saying

The result is a visually interesting and dynamic piece of art and a lovely tribute to world peace.

We were able to see a memorial service here during the Normandy commemoration, which was so touching.

Nice sentiment, horrible execution

The city suffered a lot during the war and it is entirely reasonable that they wish to erect a memorial. Why on earth they commissioned this is a mystery. The statue is ugly, big, completely out of step with its surroundings and doesn't evoke memory,...More

Why?

This looks completely out of place set alongside the road that has seen so much recent fighting. I get that it is a statue of peace and is inspiring better for the future but in this part of France, peace is restored. Perhaps it would...More

Rather ugly monster!

Located towards the eastern end of Grandcamp Maisy, this monster cannot be missed by anybody traveling the coast road. It's brash, it's shiny, it's huge, it's totally inappropriate, it's unbelievable that the Chinese could fob it off on the French!
