This 12th-century castle, which used to be on the harbor, is one of the oldest castles in Normandy. It is one of the few medieval fortifications that has been preserved. The former outpost of the fortifications of Coutances is named after the 11th-14th century owners of the castle. The lords of Pirou were related to the house of De Hauteville, to which belonged several founders of the Norman kingdom in Sicily.
Until the end of the 18th century, the castle belonged to various noble families, before it became an important smugglers' nest and was finally converted into a farm in the 19th century.

Créances

Highlight • Settlement

A coastal town in the Manche region in Normandy, Créances is located about forty kilometers from Saint-Lô. Known for its fishing activities, it is also located not far from Pirou and its famous castle, La Haye or Périers.

According to popular tradition, the town of Créances was born at the beginning of the Middle Ages, following the shipwreck on the Manche coast of a Portuguese ship. It subsequently developed quietly around fishing and agriculture, gradually taking on the peaceful and pleasant face that we know today, notably thanks to the drying of its numerous marshes.

Now, Créances is mainly known for its sweet-tasting carrot which grows in the sandy fields. Visitors also appreciate its preserved beaches as well as its charming architectural heritage.
