Guillaume Towers

Highlight • Historical Site

The Tours Guillaume, also known as Porte Jeanne d'Arc or Porte du Haut, is a city gate in the city of Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, part of the French department of Somme.
The city gate consists of two heavy round towers, between which there is a gate entrance. The towers date from the 11th century and already existed when William the Conqueror had to moor in this place with his fleet in 1066 before sailing to England. In 1430, Joan of Arc, already captured by the English, passed through this gate. The current gate entrance was only built in 1785.
The towers have served as a watchtower and as a prison. The drawbridge was demolished in 1614 and the defenses that once extended in front of the gate no longer exist.

Cape Hornu

Highlight • Beach

Cap Hornu is a cape located near Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, on the south bank of the Bay of Somme.
The name Cap Hornu comes from the Picard word “hornu”, which means “horned” or “pointed”, and refers to the shape of the cape. The cape was also known as Cap Saint-Valery in the past.

The history of Cap Hornu is closely linked to that of Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, which was a strategic port and a medieval town that witnessed many historical events. In 1066, William the Conqueror departed from Saint-Valery-sur-Somme with his fleet to invade England. In 1431, Joan of Arc was imprisoned in Saint-Valery-sur-Somme before being transferred to Rouen. In 1568, a massacre of Huguenots took place in Saint-Valery-sur-Somme after a battle between Catholics and Protestants
