More informations on www.manche-tourism.com More informations on www.manche-tourism.com LA MANCHE, NORMANDY PENINSULA From Mont Saint-Michel to the tip of Cotentin... Of the 5 Normandy departments, la Manche is the most westerly. It is a Normandy postcard: very green with its luxurious gardens, picturesque with its brown and white cows under apple trees, mouth-watering with its cider, camembert and AOC-labelled cream... La Manche also has a place in the history books of Normandy: the Vikings, William the Conqueror, the D-Day landings... La Manche is a department with a defined character, and is proud of its uniqueness. Here, instead of built-up shores there is a coastline strewn with jagged cliffs and fine sandy beaches. From Mont Saint-Michel to the Landing Beaches passing through the Cotentin, the 360 kilometres of coast make it one of the departments in France which looks out most on the sea. The archipelago of the Chausey islands and the Channel islands can be made out on the horizon. Here, instead of big cities, there is a rural and verdant environment inland, punctuated with villages and small towns rich in heritage, often unexpected. La Manche is easily accessible for a stay conducive to discovery and learning. Discover all the unmissable places in this brochure: Mont Saint-Michel, the maritime towns of Cherbourg and Granville, the D-Day landing sites, the wild and unspoilt nature, the cuisine, the leisure and sporting activities. Find practical information on all types of accommodation as well: hotels, restaurants, campsites, bed and breakfasts, holiday resorts... Tourism professionals - whether you are a general or specialist (cycling, walking, horse-riding, rented properties...) tour operator, travel agent, coach operator, consolidator, e-commerce website - become an advocate for la Manche! “Latitude Manche” is with you and ensures an easy interface with la Manche professionals.

This masterpiece, which has so long been under threat, is little by little re-establishing itself in its natural space. Come and admire it at high tide! Discover the «Towns and Regions of Art and History» of Coutances and Valognes. These towns and regions have a rich history and the heritage which has witnessed this is everywhere: Coutances cathedral, the abbeys of Hambye and Lessay, the private mansion houses of Valognes, the chateaux of Pirou, Saint-Sauveur le Vicomte and Bricquebec... Don’t miss as well Villedieu-les-Poêles, a town labelled «City and the Applied Arts» for its great tradition of copper craftsmanship which dates back to the Middle Ages, and Saint-Lô, capital of horses.

Protected by the biggest harbour in the world, Cher- bourg today is an international marina. A maritime town, Cherbourg is home to the Cité de la Mer, which offers the chance to discover great underwater worlds. Granville, a privateer city, retains traces of an eventful past. The image of the fashion designer Christian Dior holds an important place in the heart of this town, where he was born. The west coast of la Manche is punctuated by numerous beach resorts, including Agon-Coutainville and Barneville-Carteret. Long sandy beaches, villas and traditional stone houses... these lively re- sorts are a much vaunted seaside holiday destination. To the south east of Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, Saint-Vaast la Hougue, an active The beach cabins of Barneville-Carteret © Grégory Mignard - CDT50 fishing port, marina and oyster ground, is today a lively beach resort. La Manche islands, so far, but so near Islands can be made out off the coast: the archipelago of the Chau- sey islands off Granville, a mass of nature and biodiversity where it is said that there are as many islets as there are days of the year, Tatihou Island, accessible by amphibious craft from Saint-Vaast la Hougue, an unusual place where historical heritage and nature re- serve live together, the Channel islands, with their very British feel! Carteret, Granville and Diélette offer access in 45 to 60 minutes to the islands of Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney or Sark.

  • Lithics, Landscape and People: Life Beyond the Monuments in Prehistoric Guernsey
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON FACULTY OF HUMANITIES Department of Archaeology Lithics, Landscape and People: Life Beyond the Monuments in Prehistoric Guernsey by Donovan William Hawley Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 2017 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF HUMANITIES Archaeology Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Lithics, Landscape and People: Life Beyond the Monuments in Prehistoric Guernsey Donovan William Hawley Although prehistoric megalithic monuments dominate the landscape of Guernsey, these have yielded little information concerning the Mesolithic, Neolithic and Early Bronze Age communities who inhabited the island in a broader landscape and maritime context. For this thesis it was therefore considered timely to explore the alternative material culture resource of worked flint and stone archived in the Guernsey museum. Largely ignored in previous archaeological narratives on the island or considered as unreliable data, the argument made in this thesis is for lithics being an ideal resource that, when correctly interrogated, can inform us of past people’s actions in the landscape. In order to maximise the amount of obtainable data, the lithics were subjected to a wide ranging multi-method approach encompassing all stages of the châine opératoire from material acquisition to discard, along with a consideration of the landscape context from which the material was recovered. The methodology also incorporated the extensive corpus of lithic knowledge that has been built up on the adjacent French mainland, a resource largely passed over in previous Channel Island research. By employing this approach, previously unknown patterns of human occupation and activity on the island, and the extent and temporality of maritime connectivity between Guernsey and mainland areas has been revealed.

  • France the Centre De La Manche Disposal Facility
    FRANCE XA0200298 THE CENTRE DE LA MANCHE DISPOSAL FACILITY: ENTERING INTO THE INSTITUTIONAL CONTROL PERIOD 1. Introduction The Centre de la Manche disposal facility, created by decree in 1969, is the first French near-surface radioactive waste disposal facility. It lies at the northwest end of the Cotentin peninsula, next to the COGEMA-La Hague fuel reprocessing plant (Figure A.I). The Centre de la Manche facility occupies an area of about 150 000 m2. Its operation was terminated in late June 1994 with about 500 000 m3 of packages disposed of. Operating feedback from the Centre de la Manche was used to design the second French disposal facility, located in the Aube, which has been receiving LILW since 1992. Since the end of the operating period, ANDRA has been preparing the statutory files to prepare the Centre de la Manche for its entry into the institutional control period. A new government decree will set the framework in which the Centre will evolve in this period. The regulatory process includes the filing of an application with the ministries concerned, containing a file with the requisite statutory documents, including an impact study of the facility on its environment as well as a hazard study. The file will then be submitted to a public inquiry, an essential informative period of the project designed to make a compilation of criticisms and suggestions from the public. In support of the application, a safety report has been sent to the Nuclear Installation Safety Directorate (DSIN) for a decision on the admissibility of the application. Recently, the Group of experts appointed by the DSIN which examined it has come out in favor of the creation of a new basic nuclear installation (i.e., a new government agency) for the institutional control period.

  • Selected Ancestors of the Chicago Rodger's
    Selected Ancestors of the Chicago Rodger’s Volume I: Continental Ancestors Before Hastings David Anderson March 2016 Charlemagne’s Europe – 800 AD For additional information, please contact David Anderson at: [email protected] 508 409 8597 Stained glass window depicting Charles Martel at Strasbourg Cathedral. Pepin shown standing Pepin le Bref Baldwin II, Margrave of Flanders 2 Continental Ancestors Before Hastings Saints, nuns, bishops, brewers, dukes and even kings among them David Anderson March 12, 2016 Abstract Early on, our motivation for studying the ancestors of the Chicago Rodger’s was to determine if, according to rumor, they are descendants of any of the Scottish Earls of Bothwell. We relied mostly on two resources on the Internet: Ancestry.com and Scotlandspeople.gov.uk. We have been subscribers of both. Finding the ancestral lines connecting the Chicago Rodger’s to one or more of the Scottish Earls of Bothwell was the most time consuming and difficult undertaking in generating the results shown in a later book of this series of three books. It shouldn’t be very surprising that once we found Earls in Scotland we would also find Kings and Queens, which we did. The ancestral line that connects to the Earls of Bothwell goes through Helen Heath (1831-1902) who was the mother and/or grandmother of the Chicago Rodger’s She was the paternal grandmother of my grandfather, Alfred Heath Rodger. Within this Heath ancestral tree we found four lines of ancestry without any evident errors or ambiguities. Three of those four lines reach just one Earl of Bothwell, the 1st, and the fourth line reaches the 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

  • Sediment Budget and Morphological Evolution in the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel (Normandy, France): Aerial (LIDAR) and Terrestrial Laser Monitoring
    Littoral 2010, 12007 (2011) DOI:10.1051/litt/201112007 © Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2011 Sediment budget and morphological evolution in the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel (Normandy, France): aerial (LIDAR) and terrestrial laser monitoring Gluard Lucile1, [email protected] Levoy Franck1, Bretel Patrice1, Monfort Olivier1, 1 Morphodynamique Continentale et Côtière UMR6143 Université de Caen – CNRS 2-4, rue des Tilleuls – 14 000 CAEN - FRANCE Abstract We propose a study on the use of laser techniques to monitor altimetric variations in the tidal flat of the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel. The Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel has been strongly anthropised. Because of impoldering, wandering rivers were not able to sap salt-meadow and modern tidal flooding of the Mont-Saint-Michel has lowered. Through modern studies and projects aimed at restoring the marine nature of the bay it appears that flushes are useful to discard sediment tending to silt the bay. The major aim of our work consists in the better understanding of the effect of the dam built recently (May 2009) in that purpose. Laser scanning is commonly used for topographic surveys and the generation of Digital Elevation Model (DEM). Repeating surveys, allow to quantify topographic changes and therefore sediment budgets. Our study is based on aerial topographic surveys of the intertidal zone acquired before the operational start up of the dam (in 1997, 2002, 2007 and February 2009). Sediment budgets computations confirm that the bay tends to accrete but at annual rates quite variable in time. The value computed between 2002 and 2007 is 2.3 times and 3.5 times smaller than the deposition rates computed for the 1997/2002 and 2007/2009 periods.
