Campsite in Normandy

From Honfleur to Dieppe, the Côte d'Albâtre's dazzling white cliffs soar above the Channel's blue waves. You'll find villages and small fishing towns nestled in its coves. The houses lining the quays are a typical Normandy feature. Have you chosen a campsite in the north of Normandy? Spend a couple of hours in or take a day trip to Étretat, whose cliffs are among the most photographed landscapes in France.

From Honfleur to Cabourg, the Côte Fleurie is lined with elegant seaside resorts. Leafy Houlgate was once a holiday destination for wealthy European families, who built magnificent residences in the town. Take the family for a stroll through Houlgate and admire over 300 villas, two former grand hotels and a majestic casino. Deauville is considered one of the greatest cities in France. Celebrities and nobodies meet there to game at the Casino, admire the horse races, and to participate in the Festival of American Cinema. Just opposite, there is Trouville-sur-Mer, a corner of the Côte Fleurie that some call the "Queen of Beaches", particularly renowned for its fishing harbour.

The Mont-Saint-Michel, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, will dazzle our campers, who will stand open-mouthed in front of this unique and charming French monument.

Built on a rocky islet in the middle of a sandy bay that's underwater at high tide, Mont-Saint-Michel fires the imagination. Access to this exceptional historic site is via a long footbridge that juts out over the sand and sea, before you reach a gateway on its impressive ramparts. The main street is on a slope that leads to the abbey where a statue of the archangel Saint Michel stands guard. Take a breather as you head uphill and pop into a souvenir shop or stop for a bite to eat.

The Normandy region occupies a territory that was entrusted by the king of France in 911 to fierce invaders from the north, known as Normans. These courageous men proved to be exceptional administrators and builders. Your camping holiday in Normandy means you can soak up their history with visits to the Hommes de Caen Abbey, the Château de Falaise, Château de Caen and the Bayeux Tapestry...

The Duchy of Normandy was a long-standing source of dispute between the kingdoms of France and England. To the south-east of Rouen, the formidable medieval fortress of Château-Gaillard tells the story of Richard the Lionheart's unsuccessful attempt to block the King of France's armies from using the route that led to Normandy's fertile lands.

Are you staying at a campsite near the Normandy coast? A visit to the D-Day landing beaches is a must! Numerous places of remembrance recall this troubled period in European history, and you'll find both educational tours and fun activities for the kids. History buffs should also pay tribute to the soldiers who lost their lives during the Normandy Landings - Omaha Beach, Juno Beach, Sword Beach and Gold Beach are located a few miles away from our luxury campsites. The Mémorial de Caen is a highlight, but you can also visit the museums at Arromanches and Utah Beach, or embark on an immersive and interactive adventure at the D-Day Experience.

Gourmet campers should prepare their taste buds for Normandy's famous dishes! Before returning to your luxurious campsite for a well-deserved rest, holidaymakers can enjoy a delicious Normandy escalope or Caen-style tripe, rounded off by a fine local Camembert and a teurgoule rice pudding.
