Carteret Lighthouse

Highlight • Other

This lighthouse can be visited during school vacation periods, weekends and holidays. The lighthouse was built in 1837 on the cliff of Cap de Carteret, by a square tower on a rectangular building in exposed stone masonry. In 1870, two houses for the guards were added. The lighthouse was electrified in 1937 then fully automated in 1976 although it is still guarded today. Partly destroyed by the Germans in 1944, it was restored to the same plan after the war.

Baubigny

Highlight • Settlement

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.
