An old Norman half-timbered house by the harbor. The front view is inaccessible or difficult to access due to construction workers on the street. However, the inner courtyard is also well preserved and bears witness to the carpentry skills of our ancestors.

The tower of a Christian church is usually crowned with a cross – symbolizing the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ – or a rooster – symbolizing the denial of Jesus by the Apostle Peter. In this chapel, dedicated to "Notre-Damé" ("Our Lady"), the viewer instead finds a gilded statue of the Virgin Mary at the top. From this prominent position, it overlooks land and sea. The builders surely understood this primarily as a sign of blessing the earth and water – and especially the people who sail the sea.
