Route des Marais

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Without difficulty, this small road leads from Fontaine-Henry to Reviers, a beautiful village in Calvados, where you can take a break by the river.
Ideal route to reach the seaside.

Whale Museum

Highlight • Monument

In the municipal park, a beautiful shady garden full of flowers, there is a 19 m whale skeleton of a whale that washed up on the beach in 1885. On the night of January 14 to 15, 1885, a whale of 40 tons and 19 meters long ran aground on the banks of the Côte de Nacre near Luc-sur-Mer at the place called "Brèche du Moulin".
His skeleton is now installed in the city park and attracts many visitors.
To make the visit more attractive and cultural, a Whale House has been designed and built for individuals and groups (this museum is managed by the association called "the Brotherhood of the Knights of the Whale").
