Arcisse de Caumont (3-742) estimates that the choir was taken over in the 14th century, that the bell tower dates from the 14th and 16th centuries, and that the nave dates from several periods.

The town of Isigny-sur-Mer was strongly affected by the bombardments of 1944, consequently the Saint-Georges church was a victim and then restored.

Canal de Carentan

Highlight • River

The port in the northeast of the city is located at the end of a channel connecting the bay of Les veys and was inaugurated in 1982. When the tide rises, the so-called muscaret can be seen from the lock that closes the entrance to the harbour: a phenomenon in which a wave that flows into the canal from the sea is broken by the resistance of the river water that flows into the sea in the opposite direction.

Notre-Dame de Carentan

Highlight • Historical Site

The south side of the church (12th-15th century) is a prime example of Flamboyant Gothic. The bell tower with the high octagonal spire towers high above the surroundings. A Renaissance-style gate closes off the choir.

Carentan

Highlight • Settlement

Gateway to the Cotentin peninsula and "capital of the marshes", it is located in the middle of beautiful green landscapes, home to the cattle and horses that have made the region famous.
Due to the many livestock farms, Carentan is an important livestock trading center and one of the largest centers of the dairy industry in the department of Manche. The city was heavily bombed in June 1944, however some beautiful monuments have been preserved in the center.

May 17, 2024,Day 4 Carentan to Le Pont du Hable. 34km

Slept better, quilted jackets still needed in the night. Not too impressed by campsite woken at 4am with noise from the factory next door and was told off for sitting at wrong bench and was told to move to our wet bench.
