An open-air activity park: nature and heritage
The Cotentin is a huge activity park where every day is a new adventure. Nature lovers will be delighted by the Cotentin and Bessin Marshes, an ideal route for cycling or walking tours, offering magnificent photos. Explore the tip of La Hague with its wild landscapes and imposing lighthouses.
For history buffs, the region is a major site of the D-Day Landings. Just a stone’s throw from your campsite, Utah Beach is a must-see site. Numerous museums trace this key period, offering poignant visits to better understand our heritage. You can also explore the charming town of Sainte-Mère-Église or the historic center of Carentan.
For more fun activities and family outings, the Cotentin offers a rich selection. Embark on a journey through time aboard the Cotentin tourist train, from Port-Bail-sur-Mer to Barneville-Carteret, while admiring the west coast landscapes. Challenge yourself to mini-golf or get lost in a plant maze. Children will love the Saint-Martin animal park, where they can even go on pony rides, or discover the Ferme aux 5 Saisons in Flamanville to listen to François’s stories.
