Culture and History

Including its ditches, with the exception of the inner building, it has been listed as a historic monument since September 14, 1992. At Ravenoville Beach, at the northern end of Utah Beach, a viewing point shows defensive remains on the beach and in the shoreline area, including an anti-tank wall and WN 103.

The Église Saint-Gilles, also known as Église Notre-Dame, in Ravenoville has a triumphal arch at the entrance to the choir.
