Tips from the Community
EGLISE NOTRE-DAME-DES-ARTS Founded in the 16th century, the church is richly decorated, with splendid stained glass windows on the south side, dating to the 17th century, including a renowned original work by Martin Vérel depicting boats being towed (1605). The stalls from Bonport Abbey, the great organ, a gift from Henri IV, and a baroque, 17th century altar all further contribute to the richness of the building.

The Château de Houetteville, a private castle visible from the road, is an old Renaissance castle transformed into a neo-medieval castle by Henri Jacquelin around the 1930s. “Jacquelin again transformed a simple neo-classical house in Houetteville into a medieval castle, with astonishing fantasy. In an economically paralyzed country, Houetteville was perhaps the last neo-Gothic castle in France. Extravagant edifice, which prefers to ignore its time to artificially continue a way of life long gone.”
