A forest envelops the folds of Fermanville, covering their thin soils with a coat of leaves, branches and seeds. The paths are engraved in the relief: the Crève-Coeur, Curé and Houvetteries hunts. Often peasants and hunters, they become buildings when they are lined with solid granite blocks piled up. Trees greet us with their lighted trognes under their wind-combed hair. We cross the streams and guess, in the forest, the lines of walls that drew the contours of the green meadows described by the poet Marie Ravenel. The roots of a beech tree slide along the cornerstone of the wall of a now buried field and its multiple branches seek the light. It is a rock-eating tree that explores the sky and the earth.

Barfleur was one of the Channel's most important ports in the Middle Ages. With its lovely granite houses and location at the end of the Cotentin peninsula, this picturesque little port has attracted many artists, painters and writers. Paul Signac was one of them. He lived here from 1932 to 1935, in a house opposite the church of Saint-Nicolas, now marked by a plaque. The artist was passionate about the sea and owned several yachts. He produced a major series of watercolor paintings of French ports, including Barfleur.

The Montfarville Church was built in 1763 of local white granite, and contains exceptional works of art, notably the virgin with child in multicoloured stone, as well as four large wooden statues. The vault and the chancel were decorated in 1879 by the painter from Réville, Guillaume Fouace. In two years, Fouace painted 19 canvasses depicting scenes from the life of Christ. These paintings are listed as historical monuments.
