Saint-Jean-De-La-Rivière: Holiday apartments and holiday homes
Saint-Jean-de-la-Rivière reveals its geological history at the rocky foreshore: the Cambrian slate and limestone formation forms a 500-metre-wide rocky foreshore that becomes visible at low tide during a spring tide. On this rocky foreshore, between Saint-Jean-de-la-Rivière and Portbail, the Lower Cambrian rock formation of slate and limestone comes to the surface. The stromatolitic limestones and archaeocyaths at this site are among the earliest recognisable traces of organised life in Normandy; the stromatolites display a remarkable dome-shaped development.
