St. Valery sur Somme, Cap Hornu.
AOK 15, KVA E1, Stp.Gr. Cayeux, Stp.Gr. Cayeux, Stp. Ca 01.

This location can be found at Cap Hornu, just West of St Valery sur Somme, Just follow the signs to Cap Hornu and you will see the first tobruk at the parking place near the sea.

The only St. bunker on this site is overgrown and closed; a 502 was open in the past but nowadays it is closed, only the emergency exit and one edge of the bunker is visible, the bunker is located at the land of a hotel. At the opposite side of the 502, across the street is a small road that leads to 'Bois Houdant', along that road/dike are several Tobruks who cover the low-land.
Near the sea is a tobruk, fully covered. In the muddy fields are lots of small 'bunkers', unfortunately are they modern shelters for duck-hunters, but there is one real bunker, a small observation post.

When you walk 15min towards St Valery, over the beach, you will find an emplacement for a 5cm gun at the beginning of the boulevard. So it is also possible to walk from St Valery towards the end of the boulevard.
