Historic Normandy has a unique appeal, with a fascinating heritage that stretches back hundreds of years. Our campsites in Normandy are the ideal starting point to discover the region.

Normandy will forever be known for the Second World War. Your stay at a campsite in the Cotentin lets you see the landing beaches for yourself — a fascinating experience that is sure to leave its mark on you. Visit Utah Beach, with its Landing Museum.

If you're interested in military history, then the Cotentin is the place for you.
