    Hiking

    Castel Vendon is a rock which has a singular shape. In 1792, a treasure was discovered buried at its foot. It was a terracotta vase containing coins from the High Roman Empire.

    The rock was painted by Jean-François Millet, a local artist who lived nearby. Part of his work can be seen in the Thomas Henry museum in Cherbourg.

    The young JF Millet loved this place very much, we find Castel Vendon on several of his works
