Military Cemetery in Tourgeville

The Tourgéville military cemetery is owned by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, which maintains it. Created in 1918, it was fitted out in 1920. Its perpetual concession by France to the United Kingdom was provided for by law of December 29, 1915 (implementing decree November 25, 1920) so that the latter could have fallen soldiers buried there. on French soil, in particular the soldiers who died in the hospitals of the British army installed in Trouville-Deauville: from June 1917 from an "English" health camp on Mont-Canisy, then from October 1917 a 14th convalescent camp in Trouville-sur-mer and at the same time a fleet of trawlers in Deauville. It became important following the establishment, in February 1918, of the hospital sector of Trouville-sur-mer, which subsequently included the 72nd, 73rd, 74th general hospitals, and the 13th, 14th and 15th convalescent camps. At the end of the First World War, there were 293 graves of soldiers who died in camp, either from their wounds or more than a third of the Spanish flu: 209 graves of Commonwealth soldiers, 24 graves of soldiers American (recorded in 1932), 57 German graves (prisoners) and 3 civilian graves. Today, the cemetery brings together graves from the last two World Wars, friendly and enemy combatants, a total of 315 graves: 209 graves of Commonwealth soldiers including 19 sailors, soldiers and airmen, 8 soldiers from Australia, 8 from Canada, 1 from New Zealand, 13 graves of Allied soldiers from WWII, 90 German prisoners, and 3 civilians (one nurse and two civilians from the United Kingdom).

Lavoir de Bonneville-sur-Touques (château)
3.6 km

Lavoir de Bonneville-sur-Touques (château)

The Bonneville-sur-Touques washhouse, which is almost entirely period, is particularly original in its shape and architecture. It is said to be of the "hall type", in the same way as the washhouse at Bourgeauville. It is quite large and imposing in the landscape. The washhouse is made up of two cement basins: a small rectangular basin where water from a spring flows into a large basin downstream. The small basin was used to collect clean water, while the large basin was used for washing clothes, as evidenced by the washboard around the edge. There are also old brick walls on either side of the small basin, rare features in the area, which join up with a stone wall at the back of the washhouse. The framework of the washhouse is made of wood and rests on five posts fixed to brick-covered cement flashings. There are two beams to dry the washing and wooden boards encircling the washhouse in the middle and on the right-hand side to close it off. The roof of the washhouse, which is unique in the area, is made up of slate and gutters surrounding the roof. The roof was renovated in 1952 following war damage. What's more, if you look closely, you'll see a period sign that reads: "It is formally forbidden to wash sacks and cloths in the washhouse under penalty of fine - 1954 municipal by-law". At that time, only washing clothes was allowed in the basins. The washhouse is fed by a fountain located near the castle. Make the most of your stroll to discover this unique washhouse, on foot or by bike. If you're more curious, you may also catch a glimpse of the castle just upstream.

Black Rock Cliffs - Sensitive Natural Area of ​​Calvados

Black Rock Cliffs - Sensitive Natural Area of ​​Calvados

From Trouville-sur-mer to Villerville, 4 km of clay cliffs line the coast, alternating gentle slopes and vertical walls, culminating at an altitude of 60 meters. Called "the Black Rocks", these geological formations owe their name to the large dark blocks scattered on the beach which come from limestone layers of the cliff and which have been covered by algae. This 135 hectare area is partly classified as a "Sensitive Natural Area" by the Calvados department. It is also a paleontological site where one can find fossils dating back to millions of years ago. Sensitive natural area, the coast of Villerville has long been marked by landslides from cliffs which spread blocks of rocks on the beach, thus forming the whole identity of this unique natural place. Its name comes from the Celtic name "grava" which means stone. Subject to numerous landslides, the area of ​​the 'Roches Noires' (Black Rock) cliffs, from Trouville-sur-Mer to Villerville, forms a constantly changing landscape. The cliffs by the sea are in perpetual motion. This instability is due to attacks from the sea and movement of loose ground phenomena which correspond to the sliding of the clayey layers of the subsoil after rainy episodes. As a result of these land movements, pioneer vegetation is often found on the scree of the cliffs. A multitude of natural environments follow one another from the sea to the top of the cliffs: beach, reefs, more or less steep cliffs, scree, thickets, dry lawns and wooded areas. 394 plants have been identified on this site, or nearly a third of the flora of the Calvados department. There are also rare species such as the Fuchs Orchid, an orchid of dry lawns or the sea cabbage, a nationally protected species, settling at the top of the beach. Rocky plateaus are also home to many species of birds (Oystercatchers, Curlews, Sandpipers, Gravelots, etc.) making this site a privileged migration and wintering spot.

Lavoir de Canapville
6 km

Lavoir de Canapville

The Canapville washhouse is one of the few L-shaped washhouses. It is open on either side and consists of a large rectangular basin and a washboard. The washhouse is built lower than the road, which is why there are two steps leading up to it. Various materials were used to build the basins: cement, bricks and flint. The wooden frame of the washhouse was renovated a few years ago, which explains why it is in such good condition today. The structure rests on ten posts fixed to cement flashings for support. There are also several beams that were used to hang out the washing. The structure also supports the slate roof of the washhouse. This roof protected the washerwomen from the elements. According to the Calvados departmental archives, the roof was built in 1925-1926 at a cost of 4,000 francs. If you look closely at the surroundings, you'll notice a sign with the following inscription: "Municipal order of 28 November 1888: "It is forbidden, under penalty of a fine, to wash any object other than laundry, or to deposit any filth on the banks". This inscription is reminiscent of the one on the Bonneville-sur-Touques wash-house sign. For the same reasons, only the washing of clothes was allowed in the basin. According to eyewitness accounts, a woman used to wash her clothes in the washhouse with her wheelbarrow until 1982! The washhouse is fed by a nearby spring, which has probably been converted into a pond. Located just a few metres from the Pont-L'Evêque road, the washhouse is easily accessible on foot, by bike or by car.
