Charming little village at the gateway to the Bessin

An authentic Norman village
Washhouses, mills and Creully stone houses give Reviers an authentic character…
A small village preserved from the bombings of the D-Day landings of 6 June 1944, hit by a single bomb in the Rue des Moulins, the built heritage of Reviers is remarkable.
The majority of the old farms and houses, built between the 18th and 19th centuries, are made of Creully stone, extracted from quarries located on the road to Amblie, a few kilometres away.
From creamy white to ochre blond, the colour of the limestone varies according to the time of day and the season… a beautiful sight for the eyes !
