This is a very beautiful section of the coastal path with a view of the Nez de Jobourg. Note that this rocky promontory is also the oldest geological area in Cotentin. It houses four small caves that can be visited.

The color of the sea is indescribable...I didn't expect that here in the north ☺️

The Nez de Jobourg is one of the most spectacular natural sites on the Cotentin Peninsula in Normandy. Located at the north-western tip of the Manche department, near La Hague, this rocky promontory offers breathtaking views of the sea and surrounding landscapes.

Points of Interest:
Imposing Cliffs:

The cliffs of the Nez de Jobourg, among the highest in Europe, reach up to 128 metres in height. These dizzying walls plunge directly into the waters of the English Channel, creating a breathtaking landscape. The contrast between the steep cliffs and the blue expanse of the sea below is striking.
These cliffs are made of metamorphic rocks that are over 2 billion years old, making this place a geological site of great importance.
