The bay of summer, on our trip it was low tide.

The church is built of natural stone with a characteristic pattern. It consists of two naves, separated by high arches. The baptismal chapel is still part of the original church. A church was first mentioned in the 12th century, but the current church dates back to the 13th century. The church was repeatedly destroyed during the Hundred Years' War and was set on fire in 1475, when the city defended itself against the English and Burgundian rulers. The church was rebuilt at the end of the 15th century and reconsecrated in 1500, but construction activities lasted until 1559. During the French Revolution, the furniture was sold, shrines and paintings were burned and bells were melted down. In 1845, a rectangular brick building was built next to the tower. Next to the church is the heavy tower, equipped with buttresses. In 1786, it was crowned with a tent roof.

On a hill in the historic fishing district of le Courtgain is a small chapel Chapelle des Marins. The small houses of the fishing families are behind the large buildings on the quay. You will find these in Rue des Moulins and Rue des Pilotes, colorful streets at the bottom of the hill. The hill was the vantage point for the women to see if their men were returning home. In the chapel prayers were said for a safe voyage, a good return home and for good luck on the next voyage. The chapel dates from the nineteenth century, but was completely renovated in 1995.
