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

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.
