Tracy-sur-Mer (Script error: No such module "IPA"., literally Tracy on Sea) is a commune in the Calvados department in the Normandy region in northwestern France.
Geography
The commune lies between those of Arromanches, to the east, and Manvieux, to the west. Apart from the main village the commune consists of a cluster of hamlets around the cross-roads at La Rosière (Script error: No such module "Coordinates".). On the main road to Bayeux (the D516) lies the Chateau de La Noë(fr) (also known as the Chateau de Tracy), a manor house dating from the 18 century.
History
The village was part of the west flank of the British 50th (Northumbrian) Infantry Division during the first days of the D-day invasion, in close proximity to the port of Arromanches-les-Bains, also known as Gold Beach.
