SAINT-SAMSON CHURCH
This church is without doubt the most beautiful and one of the largest rural churches in France.
Without doubt the most beautiful and among the largest rural churches in France, testifying to the importance of the village at the height of the ducal state. Built in the 12th century on the site of a primitive wooden church, destroyed during the Viking invasions, its architecture is similar to the abbeys founded by William the Conqueror in Caen. The listed monument displays a robustness that fits perfectly with its history, since the place of worship also served, over the course of events, as a lighthouse, a defence building, or even as a surveillance post.
