Barfleur Village, Church and house of the painter Paul Signac

Highlight • Religious Site

This gloomy, squat 17th century church looks like a fortress. Inside are a few wooden statues. In the south transept is a 16th century pieta. The stained glass window above the baptismal font in the north transept depicts Saint Marie-Magdaleine Postel (1756-1846), the founder of the Sisters of the Christian Schools. An ex voto in the form of a three-master hangs from the wooden vault of the choir with triumphal beam.

Gatteville-Phare

Highlight • Religious Site

The church, rebuilt in the 18th century, has retained its 12th-century bell tower. In the chapel that opens onto the choir, there is a 15th century ciborium with medallions on the right and a 16th century Holy Trinity above it. On the beautiful main square, on the site of a Merovingian necropolis, stands the Chapelle des Marins whose Romanesque apse is still intact.

Port de Roubary

Small natural port in a deep protected cove. On the inland side of the road is an almost overgrown lagoon that attracts birdwatchers in season. In the far distance the dual lighthouses can be made out.

Gatteville lighthouse

Highlight • Viewpoint

On the tip of Barfleur, we discover this immense lighthouse as well as a semaphore, located a little further away. The two structures do not have the same functions, but are complementary.

While one reports, the other informs. The lighthouse has a powerful light at its top which is used to guide ships at night. The semaphore is a kind of optical telegraph which is used to communicate the positions of the different boats coming from the open sea. It provides them with various indications which prove extremely useful to sailors.

Satmar ponds

Highlight • Other

A man-made dike keeps water in these lagoons also at low tide. They belong to the Satmar operations: satmar.fr/nos-sites/gatteville-le-phare
The site where it all began. At the start of the Satmar adventure in 1972, the site only included a dune and an old saltworks. First, the generalist site Gatteville has, for several years, been devoted exclusively to the beginning of the life cycle.
Selected broodstock and oyster and clam larvae are produced there.
The Gatteville-le-Phare site also houses the company's head office, as well as the research and development unit
