Calleville-les-Deux-Églises: Culture and Routes

When looking for a hotel in Calleville-les-Deux-Églises, it helps to start by choosing a theme: would you like your stay to focus on Saint-Paer Church, the town’s historical names, regional production, or the long-distance hiking trails? These themes lead to different questions about the area. Culture enthusiasts can explore dated works of art and older names; regional produce puts cheese and beer in the spotlight, while GR 212 and GR 212 A are relevant for route planning. This helps you first decide whether Calleville fits your travel plans before choosing a hotel.

Church and Historical Names

Saint-Paer Church in Calleville-les-Deux-Églises houses a polychrome wooden statue of Saint Gorgon from the 16th century. Polychrome means multicolored and describes the figure’s painted decoration. The church also contains a wooden altarpiece from the 18th century. An altarpiece is a decorated structure behind or above the altar. This provides two types of artwork and two dates for comparison: a statue of a saint from the 16th century and an altar retable from the 18th century.

Place names also offer their own timeline. In 1319, Calleville was referred to as “Calleville cum capella”; the name “Saint Paterne de Callevilla” is recorded for 1501. A Grand Moustier and a Petit Moustier are mentioned in Calleville for 1695. These dates trace the names from the early 14th to the late 17th century. They complement the artworks with historical names for the area.

Produce from Ferme des Marronniers

Ferme des Marronniers in Calleville-les-Deux-Églises produces fresh and aged goat’s cheeses using organic farming methods. The two types of cheese differ in their degree of aging; both are goat’s cheese made using organic farming methods. This allows you to consider local production as a distinct aspect of your stay, separate from the art and local history.

Brasserie des Marronniers produces its craft beers entirely in its workshop at Ferme des Marronniers. The range includes blonde, white, amber, and IPA beers; the selection may change over time. The brewery uses ingredients certified organic. Ecocert certification is dated June 2020. The farm therefore has two distinct types of production: goat’s cheese and beer.
