Le Hourdel, Point du Hordel.
AOK 15, KVA E1, Stp.Gr. Cayeux, Wn. Ca 02.

Follow the coast road from Le Hourdel towards Cayeux sur Mer. After 2km there is an entry to the beach. From there you will see the bunker on the beach.
This 612 casemate is special because it lies there in the open, with a large basement and that is something you will not see very often. Around the bunker are some other smaller works.

According to the sources, the two 668's personnel bunkers that are located along the D102, 800m before you enter Le Hourdel (the bunkers are on your right hand, between some abandoned houses) are part of Ca 02, but the 612 lies about 4km to the North/West, strange but possible.
One of the 668's is beautifully camouflaged with a brick roof that made it look like a regular house, quit rare. The inside of the bunkers looks clean but used, the bunkers are open and the current owner didn't care about visitors.

Types:
1x 612 Embrasured emplacement for assault guns without annex room.
2x 668 Small six-man bunker.
1x Gun emplacement for 5cm KwK.
1x Unknown.
