Sortosville-en-Beaumont, Rural commune in Manche department, France
Sortosville-en-Beaumont is a small rural commune in Normandy with about 300 residents scattered across gently rolling land. The village consists of scattered houses and farms typical of this countryside region.
The village emerged in the Middle Ages around its parish church and was long divided among several local lordships. Over centuries, farmers and craftspeople lived here, their lives closely tied to the church and its rhythms.
The Saint-Georges Church shapes the village center and reveals through its mixed architectural styles how the community's religious life developed. Walking around it, you notice how different building periods left their mark on the walls and structure.
The village is reached by small country roads and has no public transportation within it. Visiting fits easily into trips to the nearby coast or other Norman villages in the region.
A former dairy cooperative was converted into a small heritage space that tells the story of local farming life. Today this building draws visitors interested in understanding how rural communities sustained themselves.
