Créances

Joyau de la Commune Normande, the Sainte-Trinity Church unveils its visitors a very nice fortified bell tower, statues and medieval bas-reliefs, as well as a beautiful polychrome wood altar. Not to be missed, the carved group representing Saint Michael terrassant the dragon who is today the subject of a classification to the historical monuments.

By strolling in the town, you can also admire many old buildings like the Chapel Notre-Dame du Buisson, the White Castle, the Bellae Manor or the Oratory of Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes.

Créances also seduces with its incredible natural heritage, such as the brocq and hiccup ponds, Lessay Harbor on the tip of the spoiler or the incredible dunes. The beaches do not fail either attractions or tranquility.
