Ouistreham
Ouistreham ((:wistʁe.am)) is a commune in the Calvados department in the Basse-Normandie region in northwestern France. Ouistreham is a small port with fishing boats, leisure craft and a ferry-harbour. It serves as the port of the city of Caen. The town is about the mouth of the Canal de Caen à la Mer. ==History== The name Ouistreham derives from ''ouistre'' - 'oyster' and Saxon ''ham''= 'village'. It has been a trading port since the Middle Ages. The harbour is now a part of "Port de Caen-Ouistreham". Since the beginning of the 20th century, it has been a bathing beach on the "Riva Bella". On 6 June 1944, No. 4 Commando landed at Ouistreham (Sword Beach) and fought their way to Pegasus Bridge, with the 177 Free French of the No. 10 (Inter-Allied) Commando given the honour of spearheading the advance. The assault on Ouistreham was featured in the movie ''The Longest Day'', although the film location for Ouistreham was actually at Port-en-Bessin.
