Pirou

Pirou has served as a coastal settlement on Normandy’s Cotentin Peninsula since the Middle Ages. Beside the English Channel, it forms part of the Côte des Havres, a low shore of sandy beaches, dunes and tidal flats shaped by the sea. Inland from the coast stands Château de Pirou, a fortified complex with 12th-century origins whose later medieval buildings reflect the strategic importance of this exposed shoreline. The commune’s setting combines a small historic centre with the open coastal character for which western Cotentin is known.
