Chapelle des marins

Near the old hall of Gatteville, there is a chapel surnamed “Sailors Chapel” dated from the11th century, it shelters the first Christian community.

A stele and a wooden piece remind of the American three-master “The Luna” which sank off Gatteville.

The 27th February 1860, 2 survivors on the 103 passengers were rescued.
