Black Rock Cliffs - Sensitive Natural Area of ​​Calvados
858 m

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.

The Graves Park in Villerville

THE GRAVES PARK: A GARDEN ON THE CLIFFS 800 meters of footpaths, including one leading directly to the beach, a play area and a gazebo, opening up a beautiful panorama of the coast, allow you to enjoy this space which descends from the top of the 'Black Rock' cliffs to the sea. Quiet park, classified as "Departmental Natural Area", where we find wild plant species, vestiges of pleasure gardens from the old days, as well as recent plantations and ponds. The "Hôtel des Graves" now houses ducks and moorhens. The Park is also home to six goats, known as ditch goats, nicknamed the "bramble-eaters" for their ability to swallow all kinds of plants. Their objective: to clear the entire surface and stop the proliferation of brambles and invasive plants on the site. More recently, five Warré hives, inhabited by black bees from Calvados, have been installed in the park in order to participate in their repopulation. 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. There is a remarkable flora there: rare plant species (the maritime crambe, the Montpellier polypogon, the foul-eyed hellebore) and wild, vestiges of pleasure gardens from the old days, as well as recent plantations and ponds. Before being a nature reserve, the Parc des Graves was a place of dwellings for about fifteen houses. In 1982 a major landslide forced the inhabitants to evacuate the premises.

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). It remains a calm, peaceful and well-maintained place. Some stelae have a rounded or pointed end in order to differentiate the British and German graves: soldiers from both camps in the same cemetery, a beautiful gesture of peace and a place of history not to forget ...
