EspañolBéNY-SUR-MER
'Bény-sur-Mer' is a commune of the Calvados ''département'', in the Basse-Normandie ''région'' in France. Its postal code is 14440. The INSEE code is 14062.
Bény-sur-Mer was liberated on D-Day by Le Régiment de la Chaudière, the only French-speaking unit to take part in Operation Overlord. There was a gun battery located near the town at the time. The locals were apparently amazed to have been liberated by fellow francophones, expecting only English-speaking troops.
The Bény-sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery, named after Bény-sur-Mer even though it is closer to Reviers, commemorates Canadian losses suffered on D-Day 1944 and subsequent battles early in World War II. The Cemetery has 2049 headstones.
