Cliffs, dunes, hedged farmland and coastline punctuate the itineraries for a total immersion in the landscapes of northern La Manche. Our in-depth knowledge of the region enables us to offer you the itineraries that best suit your group.

To the west, La Hague evokes a “little Ireland” with its steep cliffs, fishing ports and writers’ houses.
