Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue also means exploring the foreshore to Tatihou Island. Here, the sensory magic between sea and desert, carried by the celestial world, promises you a complete change of scenery... and yet only 2km separates you from the mainland.
On Tatihou Island, an exceptional cultural heritage and well-preserved nature blend together. Dominated by its Vauban Tower, which above all makes the island a major historical treasure of the Cotentin, don't miss its museum and botanical garden.
Near Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue, just 15km away, lies the charming port of Barfleur. With its picturesque appearance, this very pretty port, recognized as one of the most beautiful villages in France, seduces with the austere beauty of its architecture.
Finally, unmissable places in the history of the Normandy landings, such as Sainte-Mère l'Eglise and Utah Beach, are absolutely worth seeing.
