Hiking

These are the ruins of a church dedicated to Saint Germain le Scotus, who evangelized Cotentin in the 5th century. The place is very photogenic. You can see the beach through the Gothic period oculus.

On the Cape of Carteret lies the ruin of the old church Saint-Germain. The church is said to have formed the core of the original settlement, which was later moved further inland due to the encroachment of the dunes.
