Outside the gite has its own small terrace, with sun from 1pm to 9pm in summer.

What to See and Do
Owners Recommendations
Eating Out
'Granville'
"This is the seafood capital of Normandy. There are several superb fish and seafood restaurants dotted round the harbour. Just the place for a delicious lunch in the sunshine, and by no means expensive. The museum is also well worth a visit."
'La Baratte in St-Denis-le-Vetu'
"The best restaurant for miles around, and surprisingly easy to book a table at short notice. Seriously good food at very reasonable prices
(€25 - €30 per head at dinner, with wine; much less at lunch)."
'Restaurant du Delice at Gavray'
"A delightful restaurant for lunch (they don't do evenings except Friday). If you're a bit nervous about your French this is the place to go: it's run by a young English couple, Patrick and Nicky. Her food is always changing, but it's mostly superb French cuisine. About €40 for two, including wine. The Mayor eats here every day!"
'The Bar de L'étang at Grimesnil'
" The owners are delightful and very used to English tourists. They specialise in grills cooked on an open fire. Very decent food at very reasonable prices."
Local Area and Activities
'Arromanches and the Landing Beaches'
"One reason why the Brits resident in Normandy are not resented at all by the locals is that there remains an over-riding gratitude for being liberated in 1944. Arromanches is particularly moving. With various very striking museums and the extraordinary Mulberry harbours still visible (where the troops landed), this whole area is extremely moving. Especially the extensive military cemeteries."
'Bayeux'
"This is a spectacularly beautiful small cathedral city. The Tapestry, of course, is a must, but the whole city is a delight to wander round. Crowded in high season, of course, because it is so pretty. "
'Honfleur'
"Nearly 2 hours away, but well worth a visit. It is an extremely pretty fishing harbour and town, with strong artistic connections. The famous harbour is lined with restaurants which are packed with tourists in high season. "
'Mont St Michel'
" Another must-see place. The tiny island at high tide with its abbey sitting on top of its hill is a world-famous site."
'The Beach'
"The sandy beach on the west side of the Cotentin (Cherbourg) peninsula stretches for well over 20 miles and is accessible from a variety of points. Hauteville is a small seasonal resort, with a few shops, bars and restaurants and lots of holiday homes. Wonderful for walking and if you like a bit of freshness in your sea temperature, for swimming as well. Watersports are available. You need to check your tide times, as the sea goes out a very long way indeed. Nearby Regneville is also worth a visit for its pretty houses and an interesting museum of limeworks."
'The Iles de Chausey and the Channel Islands'
"From Granville, you can take a day trip to either the local very small and delightful islands of Chausey, or to Jersey, Guernsey or Sark. The high-speed boat to the Channel Islands leaves year-round at about 9.30am (depending on tides) and returns at about 6.30pm (ditto)."
Markets and Shopping
'Coutances'
"The cathedral city of Coutances is enchanting. The cathedral itself is stunning, but the whole city is charming and, for a cathedral city, very small. Nevertheless, you can buy almost anything you need here, as it has hypermarkets as well as boutiques. Look out for concerts and exhibitions."
'Depots-Ventes/ Brocantes'
"An unusual feature of France not found much in the UK is the second-hand shop which sells everything from furniture to bicycles, much of it of very good quality. Visit La Clé des Temps on the route de Lessay on the outskirts of Coutances, where the price is dropped every month very substantially, and there are always great bargains to be found. "
'Gavray'
"Gavray has a market for calves on Wednesday, and the usual French market fare of fish, fruit, vegetables, bread and assorted other stands, on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The meat stall (on Wednesdays only) is particularly good. The town itself has excellent butchers, bakers and a full range of other shops. "
'Vide-Greniers'
"Literally "attic-clearance," these Sunday street markets (in villages) are the equivalent of our car-boot sales. There is usually one not far away most Sunday mornings in summer, and there are hundreds of stalls offering - it has to be said - a large amount of junk, but you can pick up stunning bargains. It's also a great social occasion, because absolutely everybody in the area will go at some point in the day. "
