Located at the foot of the Cotentin Peninsula, this hamlet was made famous by two medics serving with the 2/501 PIR: Robert Wright and Kenneth Moore.

To this day bloodstained pews remind the visitor of their selfless actions during the first two days of the Normandy campaign as the two paratroopers attended to approximately 80 wounded from both sides.
