A visit to the heritage of Englesqueville-la-Percée with the ADTLBRead the rewritten text
This reading version has been rewritten from the newspaper clipping. Connecting phrases and any reconstructed words are not a verbatim quotation.
On Friday, August 29, nearly eighty people participated in a visit to Englesqueville-la-Percée proposed by the Association for the Development of Tourism and Leisure in Bessin, the ADTLB. This latest discovery of the series devoted to the municipalities of Bessin associated built heritage and local history, under the leadership of the association's facilitator.
The article explains the name of the municipality by the low Latin "angliscus", English, the Latin "villa", rural domain, and the place called Pointe de la Percée, on the English Channel. It presents the castle of Englesqueville, also called Saint-Clair, as a 17th century building; Rouge-Fosse as a 16th and 17th century mansion; and Écajeul as a mansion farm of Romanesque origin that has preserved a house with remarkable architectural elements. The church of Saint-Vigor is dated, as a whole, to the end of the 12th and beginning of the 13th centuries.
The visit made it possible to discover some of these buildings and to evoke their guests. The cut cites in particular the stays, in the 19th century, of two presidents of the Republic, Sadi Carnot and Félix Faure. The photograph, credited with Mézerette, shows visitors to the church.

Some images of the Semaphore of Englesqueville-la-Percée before the war
The former semaphore, Depillion model, still in service in 1937, armed by 2 naval officers of the National Navy, housed on site with their families.
The whole was evacuated in late 37 or early 38, following a cliff landslide that raised fears for the stability of the construction. It was the semaphore of Longues-sur-Mer that welcomed the crew of that of Englesqueville
