The château de Bricquebec-en-Cotentin is an architectural treasure of the Clos du Cotentin, with its impressive polygonal-shape keep, one-of-a-kind in Europe. It was rebuilt in the 14th and 15th centuries and is an example of military architecture from the Middle Ages. In the Renaissance period, it became the residence for a distinguished and sophisticated court. In 1532, King Francis I came here.
Come and explore this lively little town centre. Not so far away is the Bois des Roches in Rocheville, listed as the most significant location for megaliths in the whole of Cotentin. There are covered passages here, and there is a certain mysterious atmosphere in the enchanted woods.
