What to do in Cotentin
Approximately one hour from our Normandy campsite, Les Chevaliers de Malte, the Cotentin region boasts a wealth of attractions for visitors, including towns steeped in history. Among the most important in the north of the Channel, Cherbourg is obviously at the top of the list, with Les Pieux to the west and Valognes to the east (also known as the “little Versailles of Normandy”).
Historic sites, gardens and monuments offer visitors a wide range of possibilities, including renowned tourist attractions. The Cotentin region also boasts a number of French heritage treasures, including Barfleur, named “France’s most beautiful village“, and Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue, voted “France’s favorite village 2019“. These are just some of the reasons why so many holidaymakers flock to the Cotentin every year.
Sightseeing in Centre Manche
Heading down the Centre-Manche towards Coutances (the historic capital of the Cotentin region) or Saint-Lô (the horse capital), you pass through the Parc Naturel Régional des marais du Cotentin, a
must for nature lovers.
After this visit and that of the two towns, the discovery of the region can continue further south, between sea and bocage, at Villedieu-les-Poëles (where your 3-star campsite is located) or to Granville and its superb island district of Chausey.
What to see in Sud Manche
To round off this tour of the Manche region, it’s impossible not to mention Mont-Saint-Michel and its grandiose bay, which attracts over a million visitors every year.
But there’s more to the South Channel than just this mythical spot. Other places are also worth a visit. And you won’t have to look far, as is the case with Avranches, a charming medieval town with a rich religious heritage.
