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. (Michelin)

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.

Tucker Bridge, La Taute Trails🌊 Carentan - Saint-Hilaire

Highlight • Bridge

Named after Major John Tucker, who was killed during the building of the bridge under shell fire, the bridge was built in June 1944 by the 300th Combat Engineer Battalion. It replaced the original bridge that stood here over the River Taute which was destroyed by the Germans army as they retreated.

The Vire Cycle Route

Highlight • Cycleway

This Véloroute which runs along the Vire river for kilometers between Saint-Fromond and Pont-Fantaisie via Saint-Lo is a serene way to enjoy the Normandy countryside with minimal traffic.

It is part of the Tour de Manche route and the Vélomaritime route, both of which run along the coast of northern France.

It is also very well marked, so there is little chance of getting lost!
