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<\/strong> 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 Fran\u00e7ois’s stories. For adventurers, Forest Adventure in Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte offers high-altitude acrobatic courses. The Espace Sport Nature de la Lande Saint Gabriel is ideal for mountain biking, hiking, and archery.
