Tips from the Community
The path through the forest (from the D4) is currently blocked by fallen trees. They cannot be bypassed either. Shame.

A small town punctuated in the summer by the presence of a campsite. There you will see the Saint-Martin church. The church, "poor", according to the vicar general René-Jean Desbordes du Plantis, was long considered an abandoned house. Sheep grazing in the honey fields were parked there at night. It did not reopen for worship until 1809. Damaged during the fighting of the Liberation in 1944, it was restored during the Reconstruction period. Paul Bony then executed the twelve stained glass windows of the church.

The tide index is strong in this little haven. Low or high water, the port of Barneville-Carteret is very pleasant to frequent.
