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.

Thanks to the gently sloping coast… lots of land at low tide

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.

Port de Roubary

Highlight • Other

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.
