Imposing manor house, made up of ten buildings with three mills and a dovecote, for architecture and history buffs, it is worth the detour!

It was rebuilt in the 16th century on older foundations, in a stronghold cited in the 14th century. It consists of ten buildings, including three mills, and a granite and blue stone dovecote with 2,000 balls. Its raison d'être is its positioning on the edge of the old royal path leading to the Hague, where this path moves away from the strike to climb the first cliffs. The legend attributes its name to a warlike episode during which William the Conqueror would have had his life saved by Robert Le Fort who protected him with his shield (it was then said a shield) Source: Wikimanche

This partly 16th-century country house with its strangely grouped towers was later built on the 9th-century foundations. Only the courtyard and the dovecote of the complex are accessible to the public. The labyrinth in the cornfield opposite the mansion, on the other hand, can be explored at will.

The Pierres Pouquelées are a Neolithic covered walkway dating around 4500 BC. There is a beautiful view of Vauville and the Manche The covered walkway faces north-west/south-east. Very ruined, it is currently 14.50 m long for an interior width of about 1.25 m and an exterior width of 2.40 m for a height under the table of 1.20 m. The entrance appears to be sideways to the southwest. The slabs are in quartz sandstone, except for two cover tables which are in granite and probably come from a site 3 km away, located at sea level. The covered walkway was excavated in 1755, before the covering tables were removed, by the Royal Academic Society of Cherbourg. At the beginning of the 19th century (around 1830), the cover tables were recovered by the inhabitants in order to build a bridge. Alerted, the sub-prefect of Valognes ordered it to be put back in place, but the blocks were simply deposited on the site: they are certainly those lying on the ground a few meters from the alley1. A good part of the orthostats disappeared in 1833.
