Saint-Quentin-sur-le-Homme

Tourism, holidays & weekends guide in the Manche

Village of the Channel, Normandy, Saint-Quentin-sur-le-Homme takes place a few kilometers from Avranches, not far from the famous bay of Mont Saint-Michel. It is located directly on a column, near Saint-Loup, Marcilly and Pontaubault.

Of ancient origin, the town of Saint-Quentin-sur-le-Homme officially takes its name only in the early 1920s. It refers to the Man, the lords of the stronghold in the fifteenth century who drew their own name Holmes. It takes place on one of the mountain paths taken by pilgrims to the Mont. Heavily affected by the horrors of the Second World War, the small city today lives peaceful hours at the mercy of visitors passing.

Dynamic, it still presents an architectural heritage of great interest.

Things to see and do

Romanesque style, the Saint-Quentin church dates from the early twelfth century. It is one of the best preserved of the former priory of Avranchin, unveiling a granite construction. It presents several objects classified as Historical Monuments.

Testimony of the pilgrimage of Mont Saint-Michel, the granite cross of the old cemetery still stands proudly, revealing its engravings of four scallops.

Events and festivities

The communal festival is held every last Sunday of August with its many animations.
