THE CHURCH OF SAINT-CATHERINE AND THE SATURDAY MORNING MARKET



5 minutes away on foot, the Sainte-Catherine church. Built in the 15th century, it replaces an old church destroyed during the Hundred Years War. The inhabitants of the city built it after the departure of the English. With few means at their disposal, they used wood from the Touques forest and their knowledge of shipbuilding. Referred as a Historical Monument in 1879, it is the largest church in France built of wood. With its naves in the shape of overturned boat hulls and its bell tower separated from the main building so as not to weaken the framework, it is unique in its kind!
