Canal de Carentan

Highlight • River

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. (Michelin)

The Barquette Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This lock bridge in Carentan offers a beautiful view of the marsh landscapes. Its five flood gates close when the tide rises and open when it falls.

Very nice portion in the heart of the marsh. A few steps from the Channel Sea, this natural space is home to a great diversity of species. Take the time to observe them as you progress.

Major Richard D Winters Memorial

Highlight • Monument

If you like World War II history and the Band of Brothers series, you may want to visit the Major Richard D Winters Memorial, a monument dedicated to the memory of all junior officers of the United States Army who served on D-Day. The monument is a 12-foot-high statue. The monument is a 12-foot-tall statue of Major Winters, who led Easy Company of the 101st Airborne Division in several battles in Europe. The monument is located on the D913 between Sainte-Marie-du-Mont and Utah Beach, two of the landing sites of the Allied invasion of Normandy. The monument bears an inscription that reads: "Wars do not make men great, but they bring out the greatness of good men."
