This "Norman Finistere" offers an ideal playground for lovers of old stones and history enthusiasts. The heritage of the Cotentin and the Manche is so diverse in its forms and origins that it cannot be summed up, but is always intimately linked to the sea.

Many of these places are the setting for festivals as renowned as they are eclectic.
