Mont Doville, Mountain summit in Doville, France
Mont Doville reaches an elevation of 129 meters and consists of Armorican sandstone overlying schist formations within the Cotentin and Bessin Marshes Regional Natural Park.
American forces successfully captured German positions on Mont Doville between July 3 and July 10, 1944, during the Battle of La Haye-du-Puits.
The mountain features three significant structures: a ruined mill, a historic guardhouse registered as a monument since 1992, and the Notre-Dame chapel.
The mountain offers a 3-kilometer discovery trail with educational panels, taking approximately 90 minutes to complete with parking facilities at the base.
From the orientation table at the summit, visitors can observe the Channel Islands, surrounding mountains, and extensive marshlands of the Cotentin Peninsula.
