Steep descent to the village of Vauville

You absolutely must stop to see the panorama of Treize-Vents. This viewpoint offers a breathtaking view of the coast, the cliffs and the bay of Vauville. The panorama is named after the 13 winds that blow in this region, so be prepared for gusts. You can also admire the old windmill which has been restored and which dominates the village from the top of the hill. It is an ideal place to appreciate the beauty and diversity of the Normandy landscapes.

If you are a lover of poetry and nature, you should stop at the tomb of Jacques Prévert, one of the most famous French poets of the 20th century. Prévert lived in a small house in Omonville-la-Petite, a village on the Cotentin peninsula, where he wrote, made collages and entertained his friends. He was buried in the local cemetery, alongside his wife, his daughter and his friend Alexandre Trauner. You can visit his house, now transformed into a museum where his personal objects and some of his works are exhibited. You can also admire the garden created in his honor in Saint-Germain-des-Vaux, a neighboring town.

Omonville-la-Rogue has a rich history and heritage, dating back to the Middle Ages. It owes its name to a Viking settler named Osmundr, who owned an estate there. The suffix -la-Rogue comes from a family name, Rogues, which was probably linked to the lord of the place. The village has several historical monuments, such as the Saint-Martin church, built in the 12th century, the Omonville-la-Rogue fort, built in the 17th century, and the Tourp manor, built in the 18th century. The village is also known for its natural beauty and its port, called le Hâble. The port is one of the few on this rugged coast, and it is the smallest port in France. It is a popular destination for sailors and fishermen, as well as tourists who want to enjoy the scenery and tranquility. The village is surrounded by green hills and valleys, where there are old water mills and lush vegetation.
