Cotentin, an authentic area with multiple facets

Wherever you venture while on holiday at the Sandaya L’Anse du Brick campsite, you’re bound to come across one of the gems of Normandy’s heritage. With destinations like the D-Day landing beaches, Mont Saint-Michel, Cherbourg, Barfleur and La Hague headland, you simply won’t have enough time to explore the whole area in a single visit. So you’ll just have to come back again... and we know you’ll be glad to!

Liberty option

Free cancellation* up to 14 days before arrival!

The campsite and its surroundings

The Manche department has so much to offer, but where do you start? It all depends on what you want! Are you a history buff? Then Utah Beach, its D-Day Museum and the Liberation Museum in Cherbourg will fulfil your quest for knowledge. Meanwhile, seasoned athletes will take to the GR 223 hiking trail, known as the “customs path”, to exert themselves physically as they take in the stunning natural surroundings. And for the gourmets among you? Savour all the region’s specialities, from cider and brioche to seafood and charcuterie... it’s a foodies’ heaven!
