Lime kilns of Rey - Maritime Museum:
Lime Kilns:
Benefiting from the presence of a carboniferous limestone deposits, the country has Montmartin since the 16th century many lime kilns. Built between 1852 and 1854 on plans by engineer Pierre Simoneau, 4 large lime kilns were built to support the former face of the limestone quarry of the Rey. Wearing stranded Regnéville then seen its traffic grow: schooners unload coal from Wales, other boats boarded the local limestone to the Channel Islands and the Brittany coast. To provide lime amendment countries of western Armorican land acids. The lime kilns will remain in operation for some thirty years: liming is less practiced and lime production will be abandoned in the late 1880s.
The Maritime Museum:
The Maritime Museum tells the story of maritime and industrial Regnéville-sur-Mer.
Through models and reconstructions, the museum evokes different production techniques and use of lime since antiquity.
The museum also reflects the maritime history of the village. From the Middle Ages the trade is dense with the Medieval Fair founded by John Lackland. Objects, marine works, tools and works of art evoke navigation and life onboard. The daily lives of seafarers, it is also that of those who perform the "coastal trades": rigger, boatswain, sailing or tailpiece. The last rope of Regnéville, closed in 1925, was reconstituted on site and open to visitors. The museum gives obviously an important place in the coasting trade, since this form of navigation was particularly here in use. It presents the types of boats that frequented the port Regnéville to the late 19th century, the boundaries of the demarcation and cabotage, the rules for this type of navigation. Paintings, models, wreck, old sails can evoke this activity.
A film about the history of the medieval castle of Regnéville, erected there to protect a busy commercial port, allows to link the two themes.
