La Manche is an unspoiled and
friendly area of Normandy for the visitor to explore. Almost entirely
surrounded by the sea, it is a land of contrasts – the spectacular granite
cliffs in the north lead southwards to long, sandy beaches and green meadows
and eventually to the world-famous Mont-Saint-Michel. Access is easy with
excellent ferry, road and rail links.
There is a wide choice of
accommodation, spanning a wealth of hotels, well-equipped camping sites, as
well as seaside and rural holiday lets with a range of attractive holiday
formulas on offer.
The Manche region has a wealth
of sights to thrill the visitor, from coastal beauty spots such as the Bay
of Veys, the island of Tatihou, the many coves, and the bay of
Mont-Saint-Michel, to the breathtaking rural scenery, such as the meadows,
the valleys, the Cotentin Marshlands and the places of interest in the towns
and cities.
The many landmarks, tourist
areas, places to discover, historical sites and beauty spots provide endless
opportunities for relaxation, and both professional and amateur sports
enthusiasts will appreciate the range of games, walks and water sports
available.
The region's culinary offerings
include seafood and rural specialities that will appeal to the most refined
palates.
When you enter
La Manche you
will be walking the trails of the historical area of the Battle of Normandy,
in the footsteps of the liberators of Europe.
