Normandy
Normandy, a place of memory and vacation
Normandy offers superb beautiful getaways in the heart of its unspoiled nature. From Mont Saint-Michel to the Côte Fleurie, passing through the charming beaches and seaside resorts, it invites all types of travel.
For lovers of nature and simple pleasures, Normandy also offers a preserved setting, with beauty as varied as it is exceptional. Land and Sea dialogue in a permanent exchange, which the painters have enhanced with colors from their own palettes and which you will embrace in turn with your amazed eyes.
Le Bessin and the flowered coast
The Côte du Bessin, for example, with Port en Bessin, a few minutes north of Bayeux. Authentic fishing port, the small city has been able to adapt to the vagaries of history, from military bastion to maritime city, from fishing port to commercial port... Today you can crisscross the countryside by multiple paths, and even hit a few balls on the 36-hole golf course at Omaha Beach, which flirts with the cliff and offers you an exceptional view of the English Channel or the Normandy hinterland.
The Côte Fleurie (1 hour from the hotel) recalls the historical turning point that was the vogue for sea bathing in the 19th century. It owes its name to the multitude of gardens that have blossomed around the bourgeois houses built on the coast, from Honfleur to Merville-Franceville. From Deauville, you will perhaps keep the memory of the famous boards of rare wood, trodden by so many Hollywood stars who came to appear at the Festival; from Honfleur, a reproduction of a canvas by Boudin or some other Impressionist charmed by the port and the light; from Houlgate, the dream of living in a Belle Époque villa typical of Norman seaside architecture; Cabourg, the desire to read or reread "In Search of Lost Time": it is the Balbec of Marcel Proust's novel... If you leave the coast towards the hinterland, it is the bocage and the vastest meadows . This tender space feeds some of the best horses in the world.
On the other side of Normandy, Mont Saint-Michel also called the "wonder of the West" (1h30 by car from Bayeux), offers the most beautiful sights in the heart of its bay subject to the comings and goings. comes from mighty tides. Shuttle by reservation for Mont.
