Carentan

Highlight • Settlement

Gateway to the Cotentin peninsula and "capital of the marshes", it is located in the middle of beautiful green landscapes, home to the cattle and horses that have made the region famous.
Due to the many livestock farms, Carentan is an important livestock trading center and one of the largest centers of the dairy industry in the department of Manche. The city was heavily bombed in June 1944, however some beautiful monuments have been preserved in the center.

Named after Major John Tucker, who was killed during the building of the bridge under shell fire, the bridge was built in June 1944 by the 300th Combat Engineer Battalion. It replaced the original bridge that stood here over the River Taute which was destroyed by the Germans army as they retreated.
