The Norman festival revives Vierville between 1900 and 1930

For the eighth Norman festival, the Friends of the beach chose to revive Vierville in the 1900s-1930s. For a Sunday, floats and costumes allowed the elders to find images of their village and visitors to discover the past.

The floats represented in particular the hotels La Pie qui tette and Piprel, as well as the bazaar Le Gallois, establishments still present but transformed over time. Jean-Pierre Delobel, president of the association, also highlighted the reconstruction of the small train that once crossed Vierville on the line from Commes to Grandcamp.

A fish merchant offered mussels and mackerel from a team of dogs from Molay-Littry. The merchants had worn period costumes. Appreciated by locals and tourists, the party ended with the folk group La Galletière de Lion-sur-Mer.
