OF Cotentin

Let yourself be inspired by the cliffs of the Cotentin!

Day 1

Spend the night on the cliffs of the Village of Étretat

On your return, stroll through the small local market and stock up on fresh produce to cook a gourmet dinner at your campsite. If you prefer, treat yourself to one of the many restaurants in the charming village of Étretat, nestled below the cliffs, where a maritime atmosphere and Normandy specialties await you.

And for the more adventurous, during off-season, dare to take a refreshing swim on the pebble beach that stretches just below the spot: a unique experience at the foot of the cliffs!

Day 3

Discover the coast and its cliffs.

Along the way, make a stop on the coast to visit Barfleur, named one of France’s most beautiful villages. Wander around its picturesque harbour, admire the granite houses and soak up its authentic seaside atmosphere. From the harbour, you’ll be able to see the Gatteville Lighthouse, the second tallest lighthouse in France. If you’re brave enough to tackle its 365 steps, you’ll be rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view of the Channel. 

Finish your day at the La Chèvrerie camping spot, a wooded site perched above the Vallée des Moulins. Samuel, your passionate host, will give you a warm welcome at his goat farm and share all about his traditional know-how. Don’t miss the chance to taste his delicious cheeses and discover some local specialities. 

A night away from it all, truly immersed in nature and rural traditions, soothed by the sound of nature and the calm of the countryside. You’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a different world!
