Old Saint-Germain Church, Carteret

Highlight • Religious Site

These are the ruins of a church dedicated to Saint Germain le Scotus, who evangelized Cotentin in the 5th century. The place is very photogenic. You can see the beach through the Gothic period oculus.

October 8, 2025,Cap de Carteret – Plage de la Vieille-Église Runde von Carteret

Today we went on a dune hike in Hatainville. Beautiful views of the beach and dunes from the top. The weather was pleasant again, too.

Unfortunately, there was another path directly along the cliffs for me. This time I made it. Admittedly, the path wasn't quite as narrow as in Cap Rozel.

I'm proud to have made it.
