Fermanville, Coastal commune in Manche, France
Fermanville stretches along the Channel coast between Cherbourg-en-Cotentin and Barfleur, covering an area of 111 square kilometers with 1,291 residents.
The Cap Lévi section of Fermanville served as a strategic passage point to Great Britain during ancient times and throughout the medieval period.
The commune preserves three historical monuments: the Inthéville manor house, Marie Ravenel memorial stele, and the Cap Lévi lighthouse from the 19th century.
Regular markets operate in nearby towns, with Wednesday markets in Saint-Pierre-Eglise and Tuesday and Thursday markets in Cherbourg, both within 13 kilometers.
Fermanville contains two significant Paleolithic sites, including Europe's oldest discovered submerged human habitat, revealing ancient settlement patterns along the coast.
