Acqueville: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

The Church of Saint-Aubin dates from the 11th to the 13th century. Its late-11th-century bell-tower porch has a gabled roof and projects into the broad nave along its entire length. Inside, there is a 17th-century altarpiece from the high altar. By decree of 13 April 1933, the church was listed as a historic monument.

When planning a stay in Acqueville, renting a holiday apartment may be an option.
