Touring in Normandy and Paris
Beautiful French beaches are closer than you think. Much closer. The Normandy coastline is lined with golden sands and elegant seaside resorts. The Cotentin Peninsula is our favourite, within reach of Mont Saint Michel, the iconic Bayeux Tapestry and a cluster of fabulous bays.
It’s a leisurely three and a half hours’ drive along excellent roads to Berny, for your Paris-adjacent parc with big city thrills and culture aplenty (and Disneyland Paris within easy reach).
La Vallée ★★★★★
Normandy | France
The Normandy coast’s wide sandy beaches don’t get much more magnificent than the stretches that fan out in either direction from Houlgate, the nearest town to the fantastic La Vallée parc. Houlgate enjoys a handsome promenade lined with turn of the century Belle Epoque hotels and villas, artisans' galleries and plenty of sporting action, both on and off the water.
The town of Honfleur is still a busy port and marina. But now, the accent is on easy summer living, eating and shopping! Your parc offers all of this and more: La Vallée recently opened its incredible new jungle themed Spray Park with lots of fun water games.
Don’t miss a trip to the D-Day landing beaches, very easily reached from Houlgate: once visited, never forgotten. This corner of France is a place of quiet contemplation, joyous days out along the coast, and historic attractions that will leave an indelible impression on you.
