Vierville, a family resort between beach, fishing and heritage

On one side, the sandy beach welcomes swimming and rest; on the other, the rocks attract fishermen of mussels, bouquets and crabs. The village would go, according to the article, from two hundred and fifty inhabitants out of season to three thousand people in summer.

Camping, hotels, restaurants, food shops and Monday market made the stay easier. A monitored area reassured families. In case of less favorable weather at the beach, the Friends of the beach offered games, petanque, table tennis, scrabble and rallies. The vacationers could also participate in their organization to meet the inhabitants.

The Vaumicel offered horseback riding on the beach or in the countryside. Tennis and marked paths completed the activities. Heritage lovers were invited to discover the castle of Vierville and the fortified farms of Ormel and Crestigny, then the Museum of the Landing.

The initiative union was then on the waterfront promenade, facing the monument. The article insisted on the loyalty of summer visitors to this neighboring commune of Colleville and Saint-Laurent.
