Venture inside the castles of Cotentin as a family or with friends. In Saint Sauveur le Vicomte, Valognes or Bricquebec, come and meet the guides from the “Pays d’Art et d’Histoire” (Land of Art and History). Take a stroll around the gardens of Cotentin, where you’ll be surprised by the rich vegetation, particularly at the Jardin Botanique de Vauville.

There are a number of cultural visits that are accessible to all. Come and visit Ile Tatihou, listed a World Heritage site by UNESCO, climb the 365 steps of the Phare de Gatteville, stop off at the various nature reserves dotted around the peninsula, or at the remarkable places such as the Nez de Jobourg, Cap de la Hague, Parc Naturel Régional des Marais etc.

Cotentin is also all about local expertise, artists and craftsmanship. Come and see the workshops for yourselves, including the Cherbourg umbrellas factory.
