The Chateau Le Nessay lies on the peninsula at La Chapelle and can be entered via the Boulevard du Bechay.
It was a nice place to be stationed as a soldier, with the Chateau as barracks and a beautiful view over the sea.
We have seen a hill with "concrete inside" and we suppose it is the 501 bunker. In front of this hill in the slope at the coastline a 667 and KwK emplacement with some nice attachment are situated.
