The addition of “sur-Iton” highlights the geographical identity of the village and its connection to the river that shaped its development. This discreet yet historically rooted setting offers visitors an authentic Normandy atmosphere away from crowded tourist routes.

Over time, traditional stone houses and modest religious buildings formed the architectural identity still visible today.
