a C-47 plane that has been part of D-Day in Normandy.

Bloody Gulch Memorial Museum
Bloody Gulch Memorial Museum is situated in the Manor of Donville. It is a unique WWII archeological
museum in France, totally preserved of modern construction. This manor built in bauge (clay and straw
mortar architecture) was used on June, 12th 1944 as a German advanced commanding post by 17th SSPanzer grenadier division and the 6th regiment of German paratroopers. German officers organized an
aggressive counter-attack in order to stop 101st paratroopers (Easy
company and troops that landed on Utah Beach). This battle lasted
more than two days. Hand-to-hand fights took place in the manor
of Donville where you can still see some traces on floors… Several
tons of equipment have been discovered. From May on, visitors are
welcomed under an 1944 American officer tent and lead to feel
experiences like touch, smell and wear original equipment.

L.C.V.P. “PA30-4” landing boat
An authentic American landing boat type L.C.V.P., unique one
navigating in Europe is moored in Carentan harbor.
Airship Hangar
During WWI, the French Marine Nationale built this Hangar in order to shelter dirigible airships which
were in charge of fighting German submarines. This building was then used to house some artillery
batteries before the German Occupation. In 1944, the Americans set their workshop for the vehicles
and weapons. Many 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: first the museum which explains
the different parts of its history with archives, videos,
model and an exhibition on the Battle of Montebourg
50310 ECAUSSEVILLE
in 1944. Then visit the Hangar.

'44 historical tour
LIBERATION OF CARENTAN
BY 101ST AIRBORNE
This GPS trail is composed of thirteen
sites which were critical points in
the battle for the liberation of the
Carentan Sector. Here, American and
German paratroopers fought pitched
battles over several days. The main
missions of American soldiers were
to protect the troops that had landed
on Utah Beach and to capture Carentan
as quickly as possible. Not before the
12th June, following a bloody battle,
could this mission be accomplished…
You can do this round trip at any time, at
your own speed and in your own vehicle.
The map and the GPS data will allow you to
navigate for yourself without difficulty in our
Norman countryside.
On the website www.carentan-circuit-44.com, you
can also discover a virtual tour with translations.
All information can be downloaded on the website or

Bailey Bridge
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 as a model of military engineering.
The first Bailey bridge on French soil was built on 8th and 9th June 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.
21
In each village, several monuments give tribute to our liberators and
each year, ceremonies and events are organized to thank again all these
young people who came from the other side of the
Alantic ocean. The Memorial of the Paratroopers
with Iron Mike statue situated on the strategic
point of la Fière (Kellam bridge) is part of them,
so as the USAAF Monument of Picauville, Cole
Monument in Carentan or the US Navy Monument
in Utah Beach.
Utah Beach
Utah Beach, one of the 5 chosen beaches for D-Day in Operation Overlord on June, 6th 1944 on Norman
coasts by the Allied, has seen 23,250 men 17,000 vehicles and 1,695 tons of equipment landed on its
ground. Several monuments and a museum tell its story.
Saint-Martin-de-Varreville
The Leclerc Monument is situated on Saint Martin de Varreville beach, next to Utah Beach and
gives tribute to the 2nd Armored Division which landed 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. The Kufra oath of
Philippe de Hautclocque and his men after the fight on March 2nd, 1941 said “we promise that we won’t
lay down our arms before our flag colors, our beautiful colours, will wave on Strasbourg cathedral” and
it really happened that way.
Many more monuments are to be found in the
area: Amfreville, Angoville-au-Plain, Brévands,
Carquebut, Sainteny, …

Advised by Michelin Green Guide
Quiet village situated in the heart of the marshlands and bocage landscapes, an event will change its
destiny forever on June, 6th 1944 when American paratroopers from the 82rd Airborne are dropped to
liberate the village, the Cotentin, Normandy, France and then Europe.
The “borne 0” in front of the towhall 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 1200 stone marks can be found.
The two stain windows in the church of Sainte-Mère-Église are dedicated to the
paratroopers who came to liberate the village. The stain window “Holly Mother of
Peace“ has been offered in 1947 by the inhabitants. The Madonna and Child is usually
surrounded by angels, but is here surrounded by paratroopers, liberators of the town.
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. He came back at the end of the 50’s, he told his story and 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 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.

This is the story of the earth, water and fire… With the earth
and water are shaped houses, on marshland waters we sail by
barge, with fire and water we forge, with water we extinguish
fire thanks to the water pump (1908) .”
In 1988, during the ditching of channels along the road to SaintGeorges-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 ...).

Maison du Parc
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 its
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

and hydrangeas). Through the seasons, your
senses are appealed, gardens change from
spring to autumn colors. Year after year,
gardens grow, it is a never-ending story.
Visits to the garden are friendly moments to be
shared. All visitors notice the great steeple of the
12th century Romanesque church. The feeling you get:
a discreet elegance.

of our city.

Code below:
1 - The Medieval Arcades
An 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 17th 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 17th century
wood panelling.
35
3 - Hôtel de Maillé
Napoléon the 1st slept in this pretigious house during his trip to
Cherbourg on May 25, 1811. In 1861, it became the presbytery.
4 - The 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 British 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] was added at the end of the choir. The screens
are surrounding the choir and about fifteen stained glass windows are from the same period.
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.
Paintings
Some have been restored: A very beautiful “Assumption of the Virgin” from 1652 in the choir, in the
middle of the magnificent reredos behind the high altar (1655). The “Giving of the Rosary” 18th century
in the Chapelle du Rosaire. The picture is surmounted by another painting representing “God Father”.
A beautiful “Assumption” 17th century in the
south transept. A “Virgin of the Apocalypse”
in the north transept. A “Martyrdom of Saint
Gorgon” and a “Crucifixion of Saint Peter” two
wooden panels 16th century.
Notre-Dame great Organ
It was rededicated in 1990. 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.
Its origin is unclear, and one has to make
do with conjecture. Recently discovered
documents allow one to date this organ
precisely. It was built between 1803 and
1805. It is the work of Louis Lair, organ
builder at Le Mans.
36
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. From 1805 on, under Napoleon Bonaparte's influence, canals are
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 damages: the sluices were
destroyed and silting started again. It was not until 1981 that port activity started again, but only for
water sports. In 1983, the Carentan Marina was opened for amateur sailors. For 23 years the yachting
harbour has got every year the “European Blue Flag” (environment-friendly harbor).
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.
Do not miss: Dreknor is a viking drakkar replica that can be
seen at Carentan marina.
Le 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.
37
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 6th June 1994 as part of the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Allied
Landing. At the lowest point, the carriageway is 10 metres 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
28th 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 used to be 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.
38
In 1792, the nuns received the order to leave the convent, the town
wishing to use part of the buildings.
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 - Lavoir des Fontaines - wash house
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. At 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!

Listed churches
Notre-Dame de l’Assomption - Brévands
The church “Notre-Dame de l’Assomption” has a vaulted crypt decorated
with a fresco and a painted representation of the Virgin with Child
from the 13th century. Seated Virgin with Child in polychrome stone
(15th century). Transept of Romanesque origin. Altar and retable in
polychrome stone and wood (17th and 18th century). Oak stalls from
the 17th century. Recumbent figure of a woman and her child who died

The church and crypt St-Loup listed since 1954..
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 centre, 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.
Saint-Etienne - Auvers
Church Saint Etienne, a gothic church in the care of the C.L.M.H.,

pinnacles (15th century). Romanesque limestone baptismal basin,
carved with thirteen Romanesque blind arcades and two tores.
Listed since 1994.
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.
42
Sainte-Colombe en Cotentin - Chef-du-Pont
This 12th century church has kept many Romanesque parts and holds a big
part in Norman art. Among the remarkable items, see baptismal fonts, rood

painted boards, sculpted wood of the 18th century.
This church used to be called “Sainte Colombe en Cotentin”
Listed since 1958.

The church is composed of a nave with three collateral bays, a
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.
Notre-Dame - Sainte-Marie-du-Mont
The church is one of the most remarkable of Cotentin thanks to its

The nave is dated from the 11th Century. The rest is from 14th and
15th Centuries. Listed on 1840.
Church Holly Mother of Peace - Sainte-Mère-Église
The ancient part is from the 11th century with the transept and its
massive pillars which hold the steeple. Very interesting in this
