St Lo Normandy
 |
 |
|
|
Saint-Lô is the capital of the
Manche department in Normandy. The Vire River flows though the
town, and the old town itself is built on a rocky spur inside
a loop on the river. Among the only standing buildings after
the 1944 bombings was the Notre-Dame church, built in the Gothic
style from the 13th to the 15th centuries to replace the former
castle's chapel; its roof and facade were destroyed, as well
as one of its two towers and the top of the other one. Saint-Lô
also has remains of its medieval line of walls. Saint-Lô
is home to the largest of the 23 national stud farms in France. |
