犬連れには少し難しい、犬が格子橋を渡れる場合を除く

Very beautiful city with its port. Very pleasant to walk around.

During the liberation of Normandy, the headquarters of the 101st Airborne Division of the US Air Force was temporarily located here.

This 17th century castle has the particularity of being decorated with large paths and groves. It is a place steeped in history, because it is precisely in these gardens and in front of this town hall that General de Gaulle gave the famous speech of June 14, 1944. He was deeply touched by the welcome he received and will return a few weeks later to thank its inhabitants.

The canal and its surroundings should be explored on foot or by bike.

Beautiful

The port in the northeast of the city is located at the end of a channel connecting the bay of Les veys and was inaugurated in 1982. When the tide rises, the so-called muscaret can be seen from the lock that closes the entrance to the harbour: a phenomenon in which a wave that flows into the canal from the sea is broken by the resistance of the river water that flows into the sea in the opposite direction.

The Carentan Canal runs through an aqueduct dating from 1994 over the N13. So don't be surprised if you see sailing boats passing above you from the car. The structure presented the road and hydraulic engineers with many technical problems, including with regard to watertightness and drainage. Le Pont-Canal : opened on June 6, 1994. Le Pont-Canal passes the national route 13 à 2 x 2 journeys (reliant Caen à Cherbourg) along the canal de Carentan à la mer sur le port. Le chantier a duré 22 mois avec en average 70 persons par jour.
