A church built by the inhabitants

In Yport, Rue du Petit Bon Dieu leads to Saint-Martin Church. It was built in 1838 by the inhabitants, who thus marked their independence from Criqueboeuf on which they depended. Erected in barely five months, it remains entirely dedicated to the sea and sailors. The church's steeple-porch, with a polygonal spire, is adorned with two small turrets. It is pierced with semicircular openings in a Neo-Romanesque style and alternates black flint and red bricks bands. Its interior structure takes the shape of an overturned boat, and dozens of small wooden boats are exhibited as ex-votos as tributes to Notre-Dame de Bonsecours.
