St. Valery en Caux (2)
On the west side of the town, on top of the hill is a nice Vf. bunker with a steel cupola on the roof which overlooks the harbour of St Valery en Caux.
The best way to come closer to the bunker is to follow the path that leads you from the monument  to the top of the hill.
The Vf. bunker can be entered trough the emergency exit but that is very difficult.

Types:
1x Vf. bunker with cupola.
1x tobruk.
Va 07
At the east side of St Valery en Caux near the Dechetterie is a 679 casemate that is partly demolished.
You can walk around the Dechetterie and then walk to the bunker there supposed to be a 134 and a 621 on this location but we didn't found them, they are also working around the bunker so maybe they have covered the bunkers with earth and sand.
Near the coast are three emplacements, L409a and a L410a emplacement with a command post, the emplacements have been closed either with vegetation or with lots of rubbish and mud.  When you follow a path down the stairs to the harbour you will find remains of a casemate, when you look at it from below you can see that half of the bunker has disappeared.
It must have been a casemate because you can still see the ammunition niches and this position requires a casemate.  
On the roof of a small building attached to the L409a we have found a nice data written in the concrete, Sept 1943 and a swastika.
300m further to the east is a 636a fire-control post, the bunker can be entered but is in a poor condition, you can still a nice emergency exit and the emplacement on the roof for the measuring equipment. East of the 636a are some remains of a tunnel and at a piece of concrete we discovered a date: 11.2.44, it could be that the former bunker were the date belonged to has fallen of the cliff because we didn't found any trace of a bunker.

Types:
3x L409a emplacement for a 3,7cm gun.
1x L410a emplacement for a 3,7cm gun with command post.
1x 679 casemate for a 15cm gun.
1x 636a fire-control post.
2x tobruk.
2x Vf. bunker.
1x remains of a casemate.
1x remains of tunnel.
1x remains of tobruk.
1x concrete remains.
