Its neither.  Its all the bird poo from the millions of seagulls  that live 
on the cliffs.  Thats why the bluebells grow there.   Honest......

Back in the mid 1980s I got a tour of the pens in La Rochelle.  The French 
Navy was still using part of it. Impressive!!!

Joe,
 
The U-Boat pens are still there.  I just happened  to see a 
documentary/tour on them about a month ago.  They're so  massive they're almost impossible 
to remove. In France alone they contain  4.4 million cubic meters of 
concrete.  12-foot thick roofs and walls  are pretty durable.

Alan,

Out of curiosity, are the U-Boat sub  pens in France still in existence, or 
bombed out?

I tend to  think they must be there, too many movies have featured at least 
 one unless it was a rigged set.

Well worth the visit & have taken oodles of photos.
