Look from the rugged rock up to the lantern, gallery and pale dome. First lit in 1874, La Corbière became a familiar maritime landmark on this exposed stretch of coast. The rock’s tidal connection to the shore is part of its distinctive setting.

archaeology
La Hougue Bie contains a Neolithic passage grave dating to the fourth millennium BCE. A sixteenth-century chapel stands above it on the mound, bringing very different periods together in one place. Excavation in 1924 revealed the chamber, adding archaeological investigation to the site's long history of religious significance.

architecture
Look along the long façade towards its projecting gables and chimney pots. Samarès is a manor in St Clement, with a main house set apart from its gardens and other estate buildings. The repeated windows and dark shutters give this house a quieter rhythm than a towering castle.
