Vire Audio Tour: Towers, Battles, and Timeless Legends

A centuries-old ritual once echoed through Vire’s stone alleys—now those same shadows hide the scars of war and the secrets of survival.

On this self-guided audio tour, the city’s layers shift under your feet as you uncover stories the guidebooks skip. Wander from the storied halls of the Vire Museum to the battle-scarred crossroads where Operation Bluecoat changed the fate of Normandy and ordinary lives twisted in the current of history.

Who dared to smuggle vital messages under enemy noses during Vire’s darkest days? Why are some walls marked by symbols historians still debate? What happened to the clockmaker whose midnight invention rattled the entire town?

Move through dramatic ruins and lively squares. Feel Vire emerge under your steps, a city transformed by courage, cunning, and chaos. Each corner crackles with the echoes of conspiracy, rebellion, and everyday heroism.

Unlock the hidden pulse of Vire. Press play and walk into the city’s astonishing story.
