These huts disappeared during World War II under German occupation, but were rebuilt after the war upon liberation, and more huts were added to complete this charming hut village. They are now privately owned and carefully preserved by the family from generation to generation. Today, they provide space for equipment for going to the beach or fishing on foot. Today, there are 69 such huts, which are part of the municipal heritage and subject to very strict regulations. According to the PLU, the construction of new ones is also prohibited.

The cabins, with their colorful roofs, are an integral part of the landscape of Gouville-sur-Mer.

Over time, several more cabins were built for vacationers in the dunes.

An exceptional and unmissable monument: Coutances Cathedral An emblematic monument of the historic capital of the Cotentin region, Coutances Cathedral is, alongside Mont Saint-Michel, the most famous jewel of Norman Gothic architecture. A must-see when visiting the Cotentin region, it will allow you to discover an exceptional building of unparalleled beauty.

Coutances Cathedral, with its towers and stone spires, towers majestically above the city, was rebuilt in the 13th century. Nevertheless, the Romanesque structure of the nave and the towers of the facade were retained and form the basic framework of the present cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture in Normandy. The building owes its fame to its outstanding elegance, the boldness of its lantern tower (the most beautiful in Normandy), and its magnificent medieval stained-glass windows (the largest surviving 13th-century stained-glass windows in Normandy).
