"Up there, at France's last landfall is la Hague, a wild granite heath thrusting a blade of land into one of the most dangerous seas in all the world"
Didier Decoin
And its here that we invite you for a weekend, to a place where the force of the elements is only equalled by the warmth of the welcome.
Autumn is a wonderful time to discover the Cotentin peninsula with a harmony of colours between the falling leaves, the cliffs and heather against an emerald sea. The sky adds it's splash of colour, infinite nuances of grey and cotton blue often with a rainbow just after a shower.
