I wonder whether anyone can help me read a place name that appears twice
in parish register of Neuville-en-Beaumont, Département de la Manche.
In the two images below I have drawn a red box around the word in question.

Can anyone make out the word? From context they should both be the same >place, and the end of the word looks the same in both cases. However I
won't say it here what I think the end of the word is so anyone looking
can approach with a fresh mind.
I don't have any clues as to where the place might be, but as there's no >département listed, I assume it's either somewhere local to Neuville or
a a big, well-known place. For the latter, following lists of places in
la Manche might help:

I read Hyplot

Clearly Yvetot which exists (there are some of them).
A better place to see old maps:
www.geoportail.gouv.fr
Click on "1" on the right side to select what is displayed.
Culture et patrimoine, then Cassini.
While I'm here, let me ask another question. I'm relatively new to
research in France. In England, parish registers have been transcribed
in many places. Family history societies have transcribed whole
counties and published them on CDs. Other counties have put their
records online with Ancestry or FindMyPast together with transcripts.
Are there similar resources for French départements, and in particular >Manche? If so, how does one go about locating them?

The principal sites are :
www.geneabank.org - You must be a member (adherent) of a participating society to see the results of a research (research is free but you
can't see the results)
www.bigenet.fr - It is a pay-for site, but somehow expensive.
www.genealogie.com and www.filae.com - It is similar to Ancestry,
i.e. a commercial site.
www.geneanet.org - Partly free, partly pay-for. Perhaps the largest collection of users' data in France.

The links Denis mentioned are excellent.
A method in which I have had some success tracking down the parish records free of charge for some of my wife’s ancestors in France is using the site Denis mentioned: www.bigenet.fr as an index and then going to the archives for the department.
Here are a few of the departmental archives that I have used that have place the images for their parish records or d’état civil records online.
la Charente Maritime: http://archinoe.net/v2/ad17/registre.html
Meurthe & Moselle: http://archivesenligne.archives.cg54.fr/s/1/etat-civil/? la Drome: http://archives.ladrome.fr/?id=recherche_guidee
Rennes: http://www.archives.rennes.fr/archives-et-inventaires/archives-en-ligne/registres-paroissiaux/
Vaucluse: http://e-archives.vaucluse.fr/ead.html?id=FRAD084_paroissiaux#!{"content":["FRAD084_paroissiaux_e0000018",true,""]}
I am sure that there are a number of other departments that have also digitized their parish records, but I have not looked at this point.
Hope this helps,
Jordan Vandenberg.

Personally I'm using: https://fr.geneawiki.com/index.php/Archives_d%C3%A9partementales_en_ligne which looks similar.
