    This quintaine post is unique in Normandy. It is located between the lake dam and the parking lot nearby. In the Middle Ages, the quintaine designates a post surmounted by a life-size mannequin mounted on a pivot. This exercise is intended to train the knights. The rider arrives at a gallop and strikes the target. The articulated arm rotates and unleashes a violent blow that the knight must dodge by leaning on the neck of his horse.
