The "grilleurs"
It’s market day, the “grilleurs” will be there, come rain or shine!
You’ll be drawn in by the mouthwatering scent of the whole chickens, and legs and shoulders of lamb turning on a spit on the back of a trailer. This is a typical sight in Cotentin, and you’ll appreciate the delicious flavours of this grilled meat, often served for informal gatherings with family or friends! This is a real, unmissable local tradition!
