Calleville-les-Deux-Églises brings together three specific themes for planning a trip: religious art in the Church of Saint-Paer, products from the Ferme des Marronniers, and landscape features around wooded areas and long-distance hiking trails. This means you can choose a holiday apartment to suit your interests: cultural heritage, local produce, or the countryside.

The Church of Saint-Paer and historical traces

The Church of Saint-Paer in Calleville-les-Deux-Églises houses a polychrome wooden statue of Saint Gorgon from the 16th century. Polychrome means multicoloured and describes the statue’s painted decoration. The church also contains a wooden altarpiece from the 18th century. An altarpiece is a structure behind an altar, and so is a different type of furnishing from a statue of a saint; two distinct forms of religious art stand side by side here. Both works are made of wood, but they were created in different centuries. This makes the church a specific point of reference for the art history of Calleville-les-Deux-Églises.

The older place names can also be placed in their historical context. In 1319, Calleville was referred to as “Calleville cum capella”; “Saint Paterne de Callevilla” is documented for 1501. A Grand Moustier and a Petit Moustier are also mentioned in Calleville for 1695. These names offer insight into the historical names for Calleville, while the statue and altarpiece represent dated works of religious art. Linguistic local history and church furnishings thus offer two distinct ways of understanding the place.

Cheese and beer from the Ferme des Marronniers

The Ferme des Marronniers produces fresh and matured goat’s cheeses in Calleville-les-Deux-Églises using organic farming methods. Fresh and matured refer to different stages of ripening, making cheese production a tangible local theme. The Brasserie des Marronniers makes all its craft beers in its workshop on the farm. The brewery uses organic-certified ingredients; its Ecocert certification is dated June 2020. The range includes Blonde, Blanche, Ambrée and IPA beers; the selection may change. In 2026, the farm’s goat’s cheeses will also be available at the markets in Auffay, Dieppe and Sainte-Marguerite-sur-Mer. Market appearances may change, so check the dates if you plan to visit one of these markets.

Wooded areas and long-distance hiking trails

Two small wooded areas lie in the southern part of the landscape area near the wastewater treatment plant in Calleville-les-Deux-Églises. These two wooded areas locate the landscape feature to the south, while the information about the long-distance hiking trails gives a road and, for the GR 212 A, a direction as well. Small landscape features thus meet the route-finding details of long-distance hiking trails.

The GR 212 long-distance hiking trail follows Rue de la Maison Rouge through an area that also includes Calleville-les-Deux-Églises. The GR 212 A follows the same road from east to west through an area that also includes Calleville. The shared road makes it easy to compare the routes; the GR 212 A also has an east-west direction. Check the route before setting out on a hike.
