Culture
One notable site is the Maison des Marais. It is an ecomuseum housed in a farmhouse built in 1773. The building is a mud-brick farmhouse on a rubble-stone base, with a thatched hipped roof. The grounds of the Maison des Marais are open year-round and freely accessible.
The Church of Saint-Manvieu is also part of the cultural character of the town. It was listed as a historic monument in 1946; its murals were classified as historic monuments in 1953. The murals depict the legend of Saint Manvieu, the lives of local saints, the Massacre of the Innocents in Bethlehem and the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple. For the first half of the 14th century, they form one of the most significant ensembles in the Manche department.
Nature
The Marais Saint-Clair discovery trail in Marchésieux is 2.8 km long and takes around two hours. It starts near the Maison des Marais. The waterways along the discovery trail lead to the Maison des Marais rural museum, which was built from mud and covered with reeds.
The landscape also includes the Roselière des Rouges-Pièces. It is located at the confluence of the Taute and the Lozon on a 40-hectare peat island and is distinguished by its great botanical richness.
