Lower Normandy
Lower Normandy is the ideal holiday destination for families and couples looking for a quiet, relaxing holiday in France. This sparsely populated region offers family-friendly resort towns along the Cherbourg Peninsula and a beautiful coastline along the Channel. There are rocky cliffs, pebbled beaches and sandy coastal expanses for families to enjoy, as well as a bucolic inland countryside that is perfect for a leisurely respite in self catering Normandy cottages. The popular seaside resorts of Trouville, Cabourg and Deauville are among the most popular coastal spots to visit, and each is easily accessible from a number of the lovely gites Normandy has to offer.
Whether you prefer apple orchards and farmland or beautiful forests with flowing brooks and abundant wildlife, a self catering Normandy holiday is the perfect choice for those interested in experiencing a different side of France. Away from the hustle and bustle of Paris or the crowded beaches of the French Riviera, visitors to Lower Normandy will have the opportunity to indulge in delectable local cheeses and regional dishes, as well as the region’s most famous beverage: cider. When not enjoying local fare, travelers can enjoy a day at a local festival, visiting historical or cultural sites or taking a horse-drawn carriage for a tour of some of the area’s larger towns.
The seaside resort of Deauville is one of several popular towns for renting self catering Normandy accommodation and offers a racecourse, casino, harbor, marina and exquisite beaches. While upper class international travelers have frequently spent their holidays here since the 1800s, it is now quite popular with families who come to enjoy the laidback atmosphere and sunny beaches. For those in search of a country retreat, Normandy cottages located in the quaint village of Le Ham may be on order. Here, families and couples will find peace and tranquility at the edge of Normandy Maine National Park and can enjoy the many lakes, hiking trails and natural beauty set just a few kilometers from shopping, dining. Other options that allow for small town living during a self catering Normandy holiday include Denneville, Foucarville, Carrouges, Cherbourg and Barneville-Carteret.
A popular choice for those who enjoy sightseeing, Agon Coutainville is an ideal setting for both couples and families and is home to numerous Normandy cottages that offer luxury, style, privacy and comfort during a Lower Normandy holiday. There are a number of monuments and places of interest that dot the coastline and countryside in Agon Coutainville, including a lighthouse, sundial, coastal lagoons, mansions and churches. There are also a number of events throughout the year, as well as several family-friendly exhibits, attractions and classes for children.
Whether you opt for a coastal resort or a retreat in the countryside, self catering Normandy gites will make an exceptional holiday home base that allows for all of the conveniences and comforts of home. With well-appointed kitchens, laundry facilities and stylish décor, all situated in a private, comfortable setting, self-catering Normandy cottages provide an ideal home away from home for your Lower Normandy holiday.
