    Hiking

    Under the name of Saint-Méen la Fontaine is located next to the church, in a small path to the northeast.
    Méen, born in Cambrie (present-day Wales) at the end of the 6th century, came to the region to see Saint-Marcouf. Legend has it that having been thirsty when he passed through Sainte-Mère-Église, he then struck the ground with his stick and a spring gushed out at this place. This source has never dried up. Its water is known to cure all dermatoses.
