Get ready to discover these unusual places in Normandy<\/strong> during your family holiday at our Normandy campsite<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n

The colorful cabins of Gouville-sur-Mer<\/h2>\n\n

Take a trip to Gouville-sur-Mer<\/strong>, in the Manche d\u00e9partement, and you’ll be amazed by the beach huts that brighten up this stretch of Normandy coastline with their white walls and multicolored roofs. It’s now or never to see these marvels, as they are in danger of disappearing due to erosion damaging their foundations.These wooden huts are not habitable. To spend an extraordinary night, simply book an unusual accommodation<\/a> at the Utah Beach campsite in Sainte-Marie-du-Mont. Coco Sweet, cabane perch\u00e9e, lodge en bois perch\u00e9… These unusual accommodations are just an hour’s drive from Gouville-sur-Mer. <\/p>\n\n

Port-Racine<\/h2>\n\n

Enjoy one unusual activity after another during your vacation in Normandy. After a night in a small perched accommodation, discover Port-Racine<\/a>, one of the smallest ports in France.To enjoy the peace and quiet of rural Normandy during your weekend, we recommend a visit to this haven of peace in the Manche department, just an hour’s drive from the campsite. Spend a day with the family and enjoy the experience of hiking a section of the GR223. <\/p>\n\n

The black cow cliffs<\/h2>\n\n

The name and appearance of these cliffs are equally unusual. The name comes from the algae-covered chalk blocks that, seen from the sea, resemble cows. <\/em>Over 100 metres high, they stretch for 4.5 km between the towns of Villers-sur-Mer and Houlgate. The cliffs are distinguished by their geological and paleontological wealth of major interest, and by their natural beauty, with a succession of ravines and spurs. <\/p>\n\n

The thousand-year-old oak at Allouville-Bellefosse<\/h2>\n\n

You’ve probably already seen a tree house. But have you ever seen a wooden chapel in the trees? This curiosity is made all the stranger by the fact that it’s built into the trunk of a 1,000-year-old oak tree.Reputed to be the oldest oak in France<\/strong>, the tree is a marvel of nature. The chapel looks more like a witch’s hut than a church. It is located in Allouville-Bellefosse, opposite the church of Saint-Quentin. It’s one of the most unusual places in Normandy. <\/p>\n\n

The village of Camembert<\/h2>\n\n

For an unusual visit to Normandy<\/strong>, head for the small town of Camembert in the Orne region, birthplace of the delicious eponymous cheese. In addition to the famous cheese made in France, this Normandy must-see<\/strong> will give you a change of scene with its stone houses and beautiful 12th-century church. Don’t forget to book an Easter or Christmas weekend to enjoy the traditional festivities. <\/p>\n\n

These are just some of the unusual sites scattered across the<\/strong> Normandy region<\/strong>, which comprises the departments of Calvados, Eure, Manche, Orne and Seine-Maritime. To take the time to discover all these unusual sites in Normandy, don’t miss out on an unforgettable stay at our Utah Beach campsite. You’ll also have the opportunity to discover other must-sees, such as the Chausey islands<\/a>, whose granite was used to build Mont-Saint-Michel. <\/p>\n\n
