Querqueville: Coast, Harbor and Heritage

Consider which of these themes you want to shape your stay; this can help you plan your trip around local highlights.

Coast, Beach and Outdoor Activities

Querqueville’s public, developed beach is supervised daily from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m., from July 1 to August 31. Seasonal supervision hours are subject to municipal updates, so check the current schedule before visiting the beach.

The beach has a children’s playground, boules, volleyball, beach volleyball and beach soccer courts, as well as unsupervised water sports facilities. Some facilities may change; if a particular amenity is important to your visit, check its current status. Tiralo beach wheelchairs help make the beach accessible. Check their local availability in advance.

La Goule de Braye has a 1.5-hectare landscaped recreation area directly beside the sea. Alongside the beach facilities, this offers a larger green space by the water as another coastal attraction.

The running trail on the beach is 9 km long and suitable for beginners. Green markers numbered 7 and yellow trail markings indicate the route. Its length and suitability for beginners provide concrete criteria for planning your day. Trail conditions may change, and route signs may be updated; check local notices before setting out for a run, if needed.

Harbor and Maritime Highlights

Querqueville harbor has 60 berths in the inner harbor and 88 berths in the bay. The separate figures refer to two different harbor areas. If the harbor is one of your travel interests, you can include it in your plans as a distinct highlight alongside the beach and architecture.

Buildings and Monumental Heritage

The Saint-Germain Chapel is considered the oldest monument in the agglomeration and probably dates from the 9th century. Its very rare trefoil floor plan is a distinctive architectural feature; traces of frescoes are visible on the interior walls. The floor plan and the traces on the walls offer two different ways to appreciate the chapel: its shape and the remnants of its interior frescoes.

The Château de Querqueville is an 18th-century building in the Floris valley. A park in front of the château is open to the public for walks. The façade features a slightly projecting pavilion, framed by two granite pilasters and topped with a triangular pediment. Its period and these specific façade features offer different ways to explore the building.

The Manoir de la Coquerie is a 16th-century building listed in the supplementary inventory of historic monuments. It retains fortified architectural elements and has Renaissance decoration added over earlier buildings. In this way, fortified features sit alongside later decoration on older building fabric. Querqueville Fort is one of the forts located farther west.
