Gites de France Manche
Normandy invites you to travel back in time. Whilst the Cotentin peninsula faces the dying waves from the ocean, the verdant hills and the flower-studded fields speak of the soft atmosphere of the area. You will be fascinated by these unforgettable images of the verdant paths of the Pays de Bray, the outline of the cliffs on the Côte d’Albâtre, the fin de siècle atmosphere of Etretat, the farms and half-timbered manor houses, the apple trees and distinctive cattle of the Pays d’Auge or the marvellous Mont-Saint-Michel. Find out how Normandy has inspired explorers, artists and clergy from the Ile-de-France to the Manche.
If you want to discover the Normandy countryside, or spend a weekend by the sea, your first move should be to book to rent a holiday rental in the Manche.
The gîtes bearing our label easily adapt to your requirements, whether you are with your partner or travelling as a large family, whether you want to do your own cooking or simply enjoy the sun on the terrace of a chambre d’hôtes. A holiday rental in Normandy is a great way to get away from it all!
You can rent a gîte in Barfleur and take a day trip to the Channel Islands of Jersey and Guernsey. You can spend a few days in a chambre d’hôtes on the Mont-Saint-Michel, or in a gîte on the mainland in Saint-Lô. A seasonal rental in Caen enables you to discover the inland part of Normandy and its specialities, such as crêpes, “tergoule” or “louise-bonne” pears. You can then head for the coast at Cherbourg, which was for a long time famous for the construction of ocean liners; the port of Cherbourg was once a port of call for many prestigious ships, such as the France and the Titanic.
A holiday in the Cotentin region implies a seaside gîte; the Manche welcomes visitors all year round, particularly if you enjoy sailing and swimming. Why not book a villa on the seafront at Granville, where you can go winkling on the beach every morning.
