Pegasus Memorial in Ranville

    Rue Major John Howard
    14860 Ranville

Origin and history

The Pegasus Memorial is a monument located in Ranville, Normandy. This memorial site is dedicated to a historic event, although internal sources do not explicitly specify its construction period or detailed context. Its name evokes a strong symbolism, often associated with the military operations of the Second World War, including Disembarkation.

Monuments of this type generally play an important role in local collective memory. They recall significant episodes of regional history, often linked to conflicts or acts of resistance. In Ranville, as in other Norman communes, these places of memory attract both residents and visitors wishing to honour or discover a part of French history.
