The Area

There is plenty to do during your stay in Manche, below are a few of our favourite things!

• Visit Mont St. Michel and the surrounding bay – why not carry on to St. Malo and the sculptures at Rothéneuf?
• Day trip to the islands of Jersey/Guernsey or Chaussey only an hour from Carteret and Granville by ferry!
• Walk the coastal path and visit the stunning Nez de Jobourg
• Visit a local flea market (vide grenier) and pick up a bargain and a sausage!
• Shop in Cherbourg and see the submarines at Cité de la mer.
• Visit the region using the ‘voies vertes’ a network of hundreds of km of cycle paths.
• Bodyboard, kitesurf or land yacht on the fantastic local sandy beaches.
• Visit the D-Day beaches and museums to understand the history of the area.
