Discover Saint-Rémy-des-Landes

Saint-Rémy-des-Landes offers a range of options to consider when planning your trip: La Valette as a bathing spot, the Château de Taillefer and its architectural history, the Église Saint-Rémy, and a designated hiking route. If you are looking for a hotel in Saint-Rémy-des-Landes, you can first consider whether the beach, architecture, church art or outdoor activities will shape your stay.

La Valette bathing spot

La Valette is a bathing spot in Saint-Rémy-des-Landes. A 2019 visitor review describes La Valette as one of the better-known and more frequently used beach access points on the Natura 2000 coast. This characterization may change due to coastal erosion or coastal management. Check the current bathing water monitoring before your trip.

Architecture at the Château de Taillefer

The Château de Taillefer is a large building dating from the second third of the 18th century. It has a covering lime render mixed with river pebbles. The corners of its two façades are finished differently: on the front façade, the corner blocks are made of dressed ashlar. On the rear façade, the corners are built of simple rubble masonry and subsequently finished with white pointing.

The front and rear therefore differ both in their choice of materials and in the treatment of the corners. For those interested in architectural history, this offers a concrete comparison: alongside the building’s date, its façade features can also be distinguished. This makes the treatment of the materials a perspective on the château in its own right, not just its age.

Church art in the Église Saint-Rémy

In the Église Saint-Rémy, the parish banner depicts Saint Remigius on the front. On the reverse, it shows Saint Christopher carrying the Christ Child. The church also features a depiction of the Curé of Ars, signed by Thomas Ducour of Bayeux and dated 1931.

The banner’s imagery on its two sides takes centre stage; the depiction of the Curé of Ars also has a signature and date. These details offer different points of reference if you are interested in religious depictions. They also differ from the château’s façade details, where materials and construction are the focus.

Menhir and designated hiking route

Pierre à l'Homme is a 2.20-metre-high menhir in Saint-Rémy-des-Landes. Its explicitly stated height gives it a different emphasis from the château and the images in the church: here, the focus is on a single menhir. The architecture, church art and this stone landmark therefore offer different themes to consider when planning your trip.

Les Mielles d'Allonnes is designated as a hiking and discovery route in Saint-Rémy-des-Landes. This places the emphasis elsewhere than on the individual architectural and artistic works: here, a route is named as an activity. If you include it in your plans, check its current maintenance and signage locally.
