In medieval times, it was much easier to travel by sea and river than on the poor land routes. Boats were used to transport goods and people and of course, to fish.
After 1066, when several lords who had taken part in the conquest of England gave lands in England to their children, there was a greater need for better transport and communications between Normandy and England.
A port was built around 1410 and it still existed in the 16th century. (In the 1920s you could still see a sort of pond which extended over the present Jeannot and Esnault properties.)
Boats up to 100 tons could shelter in the basin, load up with wood, butter and other products and transport goods up the Seine to Paris or elsewhere along the coast. Boats leaving from Vierville could make it to the Seine (Le Havre) on a single tide, which was quicker apparently than from Isigny -where they salted the butter.
Today you can sometimes see the remains of the port when sand is low in front of the house.
