• The crypt of the church

• The most unusual feature of Saint Helena Church is the presence of a Romanesque crypt dating back to the 11th century. It is a very rare fact in Normandy, because all the holy bodies were evacuated during the Viking raids

• The Soulle Valley and the lock mills

• The Soulle canal, which is 5,462 meters long, was built by Alfred Mosselman between 1834 and 1840. It was used to transport the tangue (limestone fertilizer) collected near Regnéville-sur-Mer to Coutances where she was sold.

• The bridge of Delles

• This bridge overlooking the railway line Caen-Rennes is specific to railway architecture of the late nineteenth century. This single track rail line was built in stages and was fully operational in 1879.

• A remarkable tree

• This pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) is classified as a remarkable tree. Indeed, the trunk has a circumference of 5.60 m and one of the branches spreads over 18 m. This beautiful tree served as a landmark for steam locomotive drivers as it indicated their arrival on Coutances.
