The short version

The Arromanches 360 is a nine-screen circular cinema on the clifftop above the Mulberry harbor remains, run by the Caen Memorial.
Adult entry is €7, a family ticket €17, children under 10 free, and a combined ticket with the Caen Memorial costs €24, valid through December 31, 2026.
The 20-minute film runs every 20 to 30 minutes through the day; count 45 minutes with the viewing platform outside.

The Caen Memorial, which runs the cinema, is the morning of our Caen Memorial D-Day Tour, with a guided visit and lunch before the beaches.

What You Will See

The film runs about 20 minutes and screens every 20 to 30 minutes depending on attendance, with no dialogue to translate. The clifftop itself is worth the climb: the viewing platform outside looks down on the full arc of the Mulberry caissons offshore and along the coast in both directions. Count 45 minutes for the film and the viewpoint together, and know the trade-off going in: this is a short film with a great view, not a museum.

Getting There

The cinema stands on the cliff on the eastern edge of Arromanches, a steep ten-minute walk up from the seafront or a short drive to the clifftop lot. Arromanches sits 20 minutes from Bayeux in the Gold Beach sector. Our guide to the ten best D-Day museums in Normandy covers the wider region. The LinkParis.com Normandy D-Day tour from Paris stops on the Arromanches seafront after lunch.

Arromanches Below the Cliff

The town below the cinema is the reason to come. At low tide the concrete caissons of the Mulberry harbor stand in a broken arc across the bay and along the sand, close enough to walk out toward; at high tide they ride offshore like a line of wrecks. The seafront museum on the beach tells the harbor story with models of the pontoons and roadways.

Arromanches is 11 km from Bayeux, 20 minutes by car or about 30 on Nomad bus 121 from the station, which runs year-round. Park on the seafront and walk up to the cinema rather than the other way around; the climb is ten minutes and the view opens on the way.

Count two hours for the town, the beach at low water and the film together, and check the tide table first: the caissons are the show, and the water hides half of them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Arromanches 360?
The Arromanches 360 is a nine-screen circular cinema on the clifftop above Arromanches, showing a 20-minute archive-footage film on the Battle of Normandy. The Caen Memorial operates it.

How often does the film screen?
Every 20 to 30 minutes depending on attendance, through the operating day.

Can you see the Mulberry harbour from the cinema?
Yes. The clifftop viewing platform outside the cinema looks directly down on the arc of Mulberry caissons off the Arromanches seafront, one of the best vantage points on the coast.

Is the Arromanches 360 worth it?
It depends on your time. The film is short and impressionistic; the view is exceptional. With limited hours in Arromanches, the D-Day Museum on the seafront explains the harbor in more depth.
