Restoration and maintenance would not be luxury

Simple but very pretty church to see for its architecture and its history...

Superb church in Brevand. Going to the place where the church is built means understanding the life of the people of the country. We can say from the spiritual to the temporal that the landscape is worthy of the investment. It is a detour which offers breathtaking views of the beautiful Cotentin marshes and the basin. A particularity for this church is for those who will find the doors open, access to a small crypt unique in its kind. The Catholic church is dedicated to Saint Martin. Another moment of contemplation is the grave of a commonweal soldier. A liberator always in bloom, because here people do not forget freedom. .. A moment rich in emotion, a real detour...

The St Martin church is not located in CARENTAN but in LES VEYS. Even if the municipalities are grouped together, the churches have remained in the same place. Stop giving people fake addresses.
