Once the principal port on the Cotentin Peninsula during the Middle Ages, Barfleur is a village with a history tied to that of the dukes of Normandy and England. Today, Barfleur is dotted with humble fishermen’s cottages alongside opulent-looking 15th-century houses built from the grey granite that contributes to the village's austere charm. Aside from its lovely houses, many come to the village for its famous wild mussels, known as the Barfleur “Blonde” from natural beds near the port, best enjoyed between June and September.
