Territory of History
Baie du Cotentin is a territory of History and most likely of D-Day
landing in Normandy on June, 6th 1944. Sites have been deeply marked
by these events. Nowadays, several monuments commemorate these
historic facts. Museums of this area allow you to better understand
each part of D-Day.
Utah Beach, is the code name
given to hamlet “la Madeleine”, coast part
of Sainte-Marie-du-Mont. It is one of the
5 beaches chosen for D-Day in Operation
Overlord on June, 6th 1944 on Norman coasts
by the Allied. 23,250 men, 17,000 vehicles and
1,695 tons of equipment landed on its ground.
Several monuments and a museum tell its story.
A historical tour is set around the church in
Sainte Marie du Mont with plaques and tells
1940-1944’s facts of this village.
Saint-Martin-de-Varreville
Leclerc Monument is situated on Saint Martin de Varreville
beach, next to Utah Beach and gives tribute to the 2nd
Armoured Division which landed on August, 1st 1944.
After several fierce fights in Normandy, Leclerc Division
liberated Paris on August, 25th, 1944 and then Strasbourg,
on November, 23rd 1944 and ended its victorious ride in
Berchtesgaden, Germany, Hitler’s Eagle nest.
Parachute drops in 1944
Beginning of the night on June, 6th 1944, Operation Neptune is launched: about 13,500 American
paratroopers from 82nd and 101st Airborne were dropped above our area, particularly around SainteMère-Église, Picauville, Amfreville, Carentan, Saint-Côme-du-Mont, Angoville-au-Plain,
Sainte-Marie-du-Mont…
Several missions were given to paratroopers: cut all communications (roads, railways, phone lines),
take and hold bridges, crossroads… Once these first aims were reached, military camps, field hospitals,
temporary airfields started to set around. Military cemeteries (1944-1948) settle in Sainte-Mère-Église
and Blosville/Carquebut in order to give tribute to these soldiers who died for our Freedom.

Advised by Michelin Green Guide
American paratroopers from the 82nd and 101st Airborne were dropped on June, 6th 1944 to liberate the
village, the Cotentin, Normandy, France and then Europe, as Airborne Museum testify.
The “borne 0” in front of the townhall is the stone mark that starts the Way of Liberty, road led by
General Patton and his troops for France liberation. This way ends in Bastogne, Belgium were the last
of the 1 200 stone marks can be found.
Two stain windows in the church are dedicated to the paratroopers. Stain window
“Holly Mother of Peace” has been offered in 1947 by the inhabitants. Saint Mickael
stain window has been offered by Veterans of the 505th Regiment of the 82nd Airborne
on the 25th anniversary of D-Day in 1969.
The dummy hanging on the steeple refers to what happened to John
Steele, 505th Regiment of the 82nd Airborne paratrooper who hung
with his parachute almost 2 hours. The movie “the longest day” that
went out in 1962 participate actively to the village fame. Thanks to
the 15 boards of the historical tour in the village, learn the anecdotes and stories about
Sainte-Mère-Église. Free leaflet is available at the Tourist Office.
Linked to the story of June 1944, the biscuit maker proposes home-made biscuits in
form of a parachute among a large range of local products.
Carentan
Around Carentan / Saint-Côme-du-Mont / Angoville-au-Plain, missions were given to 101st Airborne
American paratroopers. Soldiers had to take Carentan to make the junction between two beach heads:
Utah and Omaha beaches. On June, 6th around 4:30 a.m., first Allied aerial bombing started above the
town. After 6 days of fierce fights, a bayonet assault was led by Lieutenant Colonel Robert G. COLE.
He lost half his troops. 101st Airborne Division with the take of Carentan opened to American Army the
glorious road to Victory.
In 1955, Holly Mother’s church of Carentan got a stain window dedicated to 101st Airborne, financed
by Comité du Débarquement. Band of Brothers TV serie traces actions of E (Easy) Company of
506th Regiment of 101st Airborne during WW2. These men fought on our territory: Brecourt Manor
in Sainte-Marie-du-Mont, la Barquette bridge and Carentan. Go to the tourist office and see several
archives photos presenting June, 23rd 1944 ceremony where arcades and war memorial of place de la
République can be seen.
The Bailey bridge, named after its English inventor Donald Bailey, is a
portable prefabricated bridge, designed for military use and allowing a
maximum range of 60 m. It does not require special tools or heavy equipment
for its construction, its components are small enough to be transported
by truck and the bridge is strong enough to allow passage of tanks. It is
considered a model of military engineering. The first Bailey bridge on French
soil was built on June, 8th and 9th 1944, on the Caen canal to the sea, near the castle of Benouville, next
to Pegasus Bridge. Bailey was given a knighthood for this invention. Two Bailey Bridges were built in
the area of Carentan in June 1944. One of them is still in use today: near the lock called “Brévands” on
the Route de Brévands. The other, called “Tucker Bridge”, linked Carentan and Saint-Hilaire-Petitville
over the Taute on Rue du Pont.

Airship hangar 50310 ECAUSSEVILLE - Tel.: 00 33 (0)2 33 08 56 02
[email protected] - www.aerobase.fr
During the First World War, the French Marine Nationale built this Hangar in order to shelter dirigible
airships which were in charge of fighting German submarines. This building was used at that time to
house some artillery batteries before the German Occupation. In 1944, the Americans set their workshop
for vehicles and weapons. Many German prisoners were in charge. That is why the graffiti are in two
languages. After the war, the Marine Nationale used
the hangar as storage and finally sold the site in 1998.
Entirely built in concrete, it is unique in the world
and is classified “Historical Monument”. The visit
has two parts: visit first the museum which explains
the different parts of its history with archives, videos,
model and an exhibition on the Battle of Montebourg
in 1944. Then visit the Hangar.

In the heart of the triangle “Caen, Mont Saint Michel, Cherbourg”, in between two counties (Manche
and Calvados), the Regional Park spreads on 150,000 hectares and gathers 150 villages.
This rural territory extends between preserved landscapes of bocage (little fields surrounded by
hedges), floodable meadows, moor and littorals. It offers a great diversity of flora and fauna renowned
at an international level. Its particularity and identity are given thanks to its vast humid zone, 30 000 ha
of marshlands which represent a major stake for its inhabitants and actors.
On 500 m², Maison du Parc is the ideal starting point to organise your visit of the Cotentin and Bessin
marshlands. You will find all information and leaflets you need.
Different spaces: information, relaxing area, souvenir shop and exhibitions allow a fun and sensitive
discovery of this preserved area.
Outside, on a hundred hectares of marshlands, the bird sanctuary opens its territory to you.
Observatories are accessible along a pond for a discovery of birds in their natural environment. Take
the path with teaching boards to access the bird sanctuary. Take a moment to look at the “garden of
tadpoles” and learn what you can do in your own garden to welcome the little fauna.

Pointe de Brévands
Uninterrupted view over Baie des Veys. Group of dyked-up polders built out

Lighter boat and forge of Tribehou
This is the story of the earth, water and fire… With the earth and water is
shaped houses, on marshland waters we sail by barge, with fire and water we
forge, with water we extinguish fire thanks to the fire pump (1908) .”
In 1988, during the ditching of channels along the road to St. Georges de Bohon, it was removed from
the mud and then exposed in 1991 under a shelter of land and “Rotz” (mixture of reeds and sedge).
The barges are flat-bottomed boats, allowing easy passage into the sometimes shallow marsh. They
are built mainly of wood in oak or elm, a length of 11-17 m. Two major
projects to Tribehou flourished between 1800 and 1854 giving work to
ten carpenters and 53 boatmen.
Since the Middle Ages, the boats brought back the muddy sand
of the Bay of Veys for land fertilizing and returning with goods
(lime, bricks ...).

Average visit time: 1 - 2 hours
1 - Medieval Arcades
On the North part of place de la République, you can see the oldest par
of civilian architecture in Carentan. A unique example in Normandy of
four medieval houses incorporating 10 pillars. They are said to be the
remains of a former covered market which is also said to have existed
in the 14th century on the south side.
2 - Hôtel de Dey
The facade of this house dates from the l7th century. A plaque is
visible stating that Honoré de Balzac stayed in this house and wrote
there a novel called “Le Réquisitionnaire” in 1836. The interior of this
house had until recently some l7th century wood panelling
41
3 - Hôtel de Maillé,
then called Hôtel de Chanvallon
Napoléon 1st slept in this hotel during his trip to Cherbourg on May 25,
1811. In 1861, it became the presbytery.
4 - Notre-Dame church
Notre-Dame de Carentan, a listed building, was built in the 11th century. From the Romanesque period,
remain only the west door, the lower part of the pillars and the four main pillars of the crossing with
the Romanesque arches.
In 1443 the English were occupying the country. The church was in ruins. Reconstruction started first
with the nave and the south aisle. Guillaume de CERISAY, knight, the bailiff of Cotentin, richly endowed
the church. Its surface area was doubled with the construction of the choir, ambulatories and the north
aisle, about 1466. The dedication took place in 1470.
In 1517, the Chapelle du Rosaire [Chapel of the Rosary] dedicated to Virgin Mary was added at
the end of the choir. From the same period are the screens surrounding the choir and about fifteen
stained glass windows.
In June 1944, American bombers, at the time of D-Day, caused serious damage to the spire, the west
door and the choir. The organ was badly damaged, stained glass shattered, the roof holed and the clock
damaged. Fortunately, in 1940 the old stain glass had been taken out and stored in the countryside. One
stain window from 1955 tells the story of Carentan liberation by the 101st Airborne. AT the top part, we
can see the parachute drops above Carentan marshlands, a family during exodus, a doctor, soldiers in
action and the 101st Airborne insignia.
The paintings
Some have been restored: “Assumption of
the Virgin” from 1652 in the choir, “Giving of
the Rosary” 18th century in the Chapelle du
Rosaire, “Assumption” 17th century in the
south transept, “Virgin of the Apocalypse”
in the north transept, “Martyrdom of Saint
Gorgon” and a “Crucifixion of Saint Peter”
16th century.
Notre Dame great Organ
Listed for its case and pipes, it has just
been restored in the Classical style of the
end of the 17th century. It is one of the few
instruments in this style in the Departement
de la Manche.
It was built between 1803 and 1805. It is the
work of Louis Lair, organ builder at Le Mans.
42
5 - Ship-owner’s house
A beautiful facade of ship-owner’s house with coat of arms dating of the Second Empire: steamboat.
A few meters away, astonishing portal facade of a house of the 19th century.
6 - Marina
A very long time before the present marina, a harbour was established at Carentan by a Gaulish family,
the Unelles, and was destroyed by the barbarian invasions at the end of the 4th century.
In the Middle Ages, a port was established near the town walls at the “Quay-au-Vin” in the river bed
of the Gouffres, which ran into the Taute. A trade in merchandise (salted foods, cereals, poultry, wine,
salt, “bundles of reeds” to feed the salt bath furnaces) was operated by sailing-barges through the
marshlands. Before 1700, boats of 100 to 200 tons sailed up the river as far as the town, but silting and
alluvial deposits put paid to the port.
After 1700, for hygienic, but also strategic and economic reasons, plans were considered for draining
the marshes surrounding the town. Under the influence of Napoleon Bonaparte, starting in 1805 canals
were dug, sluices installed, and a new port planned using the magnificent Haut Dick Canal, with a
double lock. Work began in 1842 and finished in 1851. Significant trade developed between Le Havre
and Carentan from then until 1940. In June 1944 operations relating to the Allied Landings caused
serious damage: the sluices were destroyed and silting started again. It was not until 1981 that port
activity was restarted, but only for water sports.
In 1983 the Carentan Marina was opened for amateur sailors. The yachting harbour has got every year
for 23 years the “European Blue Flag”.
Water level is maintained thanks to the lock gates. Access to the see is possible thanks to a marked-up
channel crossing the beautiful and wild Baie des Veys.
Come and have a look at Dreknor, a replica from Viking ship,
anchored in Carentan harbour. An authentic landing boat type LCVP,
unique in Europe is also to be seen.
Haut Dick: a trail along the banks allows to do a pleasant stroll
around the harbour, crossing the Canal bridge and the lock gates, a
fitness circuit has been laid out.
43
7-Canal Bridge
Built in the 20th century, this work of art is unique in France: it allows the 4 lane RN13 to pass under the
tidal basin between the marina and the sea. The up-grading of the RN13 between Caen and Cherbourg
to a non-toll motorway, inevitably requiring Carentan to be bypassed, was the trigger for these works.
It was inaugurated on 6 June 1994 as part of the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Allied
Landing. At the lowest point, the carriageway is 10 meters below the normal water level of the canal.
One of the main problems caused by this design is the resistance of the structure to the hydrostatic
pressures resulting from the presence of varying ground water levels. To solve the problem, this water
is permanently drained by removing it from within an apron around the structure, and the area is under
constant surveillance. From the aesthetic point of view, the architect, Charles LAVIGNE, had the idea of
exploiting the presence of the stays which bear the pressures exercised laterally on the walls, to give
the impression of the inverted hull ribs of a wooden ship. In the meantime, do not be surprised if, as
you pass under the canal bridge, you see a boat sailing past above your car!
8 - Hôtel de Lessey
The Auxais family from Sainte-Marie-du-Mont built it in the 17th century. It later became the Augustinian
Convent. It now houses the Notre-Dame Catholic School. The entry porch has been walled and in 1927,
a second floor was built, modifying the original proportions.
9 - Hôtel de Ponthergé
The house was built in 1554. Interesting sculptured double doorway with buttresses, and decorated
with delicate arabesques in the Renaissance style. An incidental detail: by the terms of a deed of
28 November 1695, the ownership of this house conferred the right of burial in the church.
10 -Townhall
The building was constructed between 1644 and 1652 by the
Sisters of the Order of Our Lady, who opened their convent there
in March 1652. There was a chapel, at the end of the east wing
of the building giving onto the Rue Holgate, and a cemetery. The
east wing was completed in 1655. The facade of the central
section was rebuilt in 1717, the west wing dating from the end of
the 18th century. In 1792, the nuns received the order to leave the
convent, the town wishing to use part of the buildings.
44
The convent served in turn as a barracks, military quarters,
police station, secondary school, office for the police court,
library, primary schools and finally the municipal offices
were set up there. Alliance between past and present, in
the square side, we can notice a classic but very modern
laying out: a pretty artificial river with a waterfall.
11 - Le Lavoir des Fontaines
It was built in 1784, using the plans drawn up by Boullée, the Director of the Highways Department for
Carentan, in the ancient area called “les fontaines” because several springs ran into it. The washhouse,
containing a shallow sink of wide slabs of bedded stone, is open to the sky. It is surrounded by a
covered gallery of massive columns of dressed Caen stone. These square based columns carry an
imposing wooden structure on capitals. Superb gargoyles in sculptured stone decorate this sink.
Just behind the reservoir, walking the few steps up on the right, a
narrow spring channel goes through a tree roots. This spring is the
one filling up the washhouse. A t the top, you will find a modern
marble sculpture: “Ensemble vers l’eau de la” a play on words about
water and the therafter
We are at the end of the circuit, we hope you have seen the treasures
of our little town, attached to its past but turned to future.
Birdhouse in town
Birds are essential to the nature balance and of human being in town. With their daily feeding,
they control the destructive species (caterpillar, aphid…). They bring a great help to gardeners!
They also participate with their presence and their songs to a “good way of life” in town.
But, some birds have to face an “accommodation crisis” due to a lack of natural cavities (hollow
shafts, building openings…). Are concerned: blue and great tits, sparrows…
During your walking tour, keep your eyes open and find the 10 birdhouses thanks to a
guide book available at the Tourist Office. A surprise is waiting for you back there!

Notre- Dame de l’Assomption - Appeville
The church was formerly dependent on the Abbey of Lessay. It is noted for the
quality of its style, the uniformity of its construction, built at one time at the
beginning of the 13th century, and also for its excellent state of preservation:
almost unaltered, a nearly perfect expression of Cotentin rural gothic art.
At its center, a square tower forming the lantern tower and bell tower,
topped by a slender spire. Single nave, choir with shallow chevet, prominent
transept, sexpartite vaults, 15th century porch. Listed since 1950.

two tores. Listed since 1994.
Notre-Dame - Carentan (see page 42)
Saint-Candide - Picauville
Built in the 13th century, the nave looks like one of the Paris region. It can be
explained by the fact that Picauville used to be owed by Saint Louis and
because of an architect closed to the royal family, it has been built the way
you see it. Listed since 1961.
46
Sainte-Colombe en Cotentin -Chef-du-Pont

a big part in Norman art. Among the remarkable items, see

prominent transept, a choir with a sacristy at north side and a
chapel at the south. At the extremity, a semi-circular apse.
Romanesque parts: Western façade, Choir’s north wall, apse and
nave. Church and cemetery listed since 1946.

The nave is dated from the 11th Century. The rest is from 14th and
15th Centuries. Listed on 1840.
Notre-Dame de la Paix - Sainte-Mère-Église

surrounded by paratroopers and St Mickael, offered by
505th Régiment of the 82nd Airborne Veterans.

Hikes
Short hikes
To help you discover the “Baie du Cotentin”, 15 paths of 6 to 26 km have been opened up: some will
take you into the bocage of uplands, others lead into the marsh, the low lying areas and the east coast
of Cotentin. For the longest hikes, you can shorten the tour with alternative paths. These tours are
accessible to hikers, mountain bikers and horse riders. The markers are yellow. Detailled leaflets with
maps are available at the Tourist Office in Carentan for 0.50 €.

Saint Mickael’s paths
On the traces of St Mickael pilgrims “Les Miquelots”: starting from Barfleur, passing by Sainte-MèreÉglise and Carentan, gates of Carentan, protecting the region from terrestrial or sea invasions. Carentan
used to be important market in the Middle-Ages. On Notre Dame church in Carentan, Archangel
St Mickael has been set in the middle of the 16th Century on the top of the South part of the transept.
It appears surrounded by angels playing trumpets like formerly in Mont Saint Michel. This path goes
through the marshlands towards Périers and you will walk on the former Roman way until Coutances
and Mont-Saint-Michel. The markers are blue.
