Rendezvous with the Atlantic

Almost 150 years ago, while capturing the colorfulness of the Normandy in his famous paintings, Claude Monet stated, “Every day I discover more and more beautiful things. It’s enough to drive one mad." And all it takes is a quick visit to understand why.

Today, the Cotentin Peninsula is still regarded as one of France's most fascinating regions. As you hike along the coast, the views are truly spectacular, dominated by high cliffs, pristine marshes, natural rock formations and wide, open meadows. In fact, it's not without reason that the city-dwelling Parisians consider the Cotentin Peninsula their favorite weekend getaway. So you can experience the best of this region, we bring you the top Highlights of the region.
