Fort of La Hougue

Highlight • Castle

While the inside of the defensive fortress might still be closed for renovations, the water moat and the walls reaching all around this strategic peninsula are quite well preserved.

Sentier Vauban

Highlight • Other

You should only walk/jog to the right around the fortifications, as at the end you have to walk about 400m along a narrow wall - oncoming traffic is a bit inconvenient 😛

Magnificent port city in Normandy. It has the particularity of housing two famous buildings by Vauban: the Tatihou and Houge observatory towers. A very beautiful city to see (or ride a bike) at least once!
