Gateway to the Cotentin peninsula and "capital of the marshes", it is located in the middle of beautiful green landscapes, home to the cattle and horses that have made the region famous.
Due to the many livestock farms, Carentan is an important livestock trading center and one of the largest centers of the dairy industry in the department of Manche. The city was heavily bombed in June 1944, however some beautiful monuments have been preserved in the center.

The gateway to the Cotentin Peninsula and "capital of the marshes", it is set amid beautiful wet and green landscapes, home to the cattle and horses that have made the region famous.
Because of the many livestock farms, Carentan is an important cattle trading center and one of the largest centers of the dairy industry in the Manche department. The town was heavily bombed in June 1944, but nevertheless a few beautiful monuments have been preserved in the center.

The historic little town is well preserved despite heavy bombardment during the Second World War, and displays ample documentation about becoming one of the first important bridgeheads of the allied liberation forces after D-Day June 6 1944
