A small commune along the English Channel. From the beach, you can see the islands of Jersey and Chausey. At low tide, shore fishing is possible. To the west, behind a strip of coastal dunes, a sandy harbor has been partially converted for agricultural, oyster farming, and tourism activities. In 1964, 120 hectares were transformed into a polder. In 1981, 11 hectares were developed into a shellfish farming zone. The commune's main source of wealth comes from oyster farming, whose flavor is appreciated throughout the country. Beyond the harbor, the wooded landscape offers superb views of the sea and the islands.
