Culture

The Church of Saint-Mélain in Berville-sur-Mer was classified as a historic monument by decree on 13 February 1928. Its choir dates from the 13th century, while the nave dates from the 14th century. Inside are ship models donated as votive offerings by the families of Berville-sur-Mer’s sailors.

Another protected historic monument is the Manoir du Marollet, an 18th-century manor house. It is privately owned and cannot be visited.

The Fête des Marins is organised every year by the Amicale des Marins. During the Fête des Marins, children from the municipality carry the ship models in a procession to the shore, where a blessing of the sea takes place. The sloop “L’Annick” is also on display on the esplanade of Berville-sur-Mer. The traditional sailing vessel “La fleur des flots” can be seen in the former harbour.
