Ra149 Plage du Perron

Ra149 in the middle of Dinard Golf at Saint-Briac-sur-Mer. Park at Ra154a car park and you can walk all the way around the golf course.

Surrounded by Dinard Golf this defence is looking both ways N/E and S/W.

The two casements direction of firing. Covering two areas of possible attack.

The first level of defences were trenches and dugouts not unlike WW1, then when the Feste St Malo was started two artillery fire points were laid out facing S/W. Two R504 gun bunkers were added to allow better shelter for the troops and the guns from aerial attack. Later two gun casemates were added to keep the guns under concrete so they could take fire and also give fire. The guns that were inside the R504's could be run out to firing points set up to cover the S/W.

R612 casemate. A very well constructed bunker to fit into its surroundings and covered in sand and grass, this may have been completed by the Golf groundsman rather than the OT workers.

R612 casemate. This is the direction it would have fired on.

Not sure if its part of the defence?? But it may have been part of an infantry shelter linked into the trench system.

R612 casemate. You can see the bricked in gun embrasure.

R612 casemate side blast wall.

R612 casemate. The area the gun would have covered.

R612 casemate. Rear entrance with some nice camouflage and rear rain channel over the door.

An R504 Gun Garage bunker. This can be seen from the R612 casemate if you peep over the golf course in the evening when there are no golfers about.
