The parc is a perfect launch pad for exploring this fantastic region, which can often be overlooked by families who don't realise that the beaches are huge, the sea tends to be warmer than the Atlantic, and the history is fascinating for all ages.
The tranquil feel of this area will suit families and couples looking for a quieter holiday - it's particularly good for families with toddlers as the parc itself is quiet and safe.
Plus, Normandy is simple to reach from the UK. Hope on the fast craft from Portsmouth and you can reach the parc from Caen in around 45 minutes - hardly enough time to ask 'are we there yet?'

Specialties of the area
For those with a French appetite, why not spend a day sampling some of Normandy's tastiest delights. Begin at the town of Camembert to sample its famous cheese, followed by lunch at Port en Bessin (try the oysters), or perhaps you'll prefer prize winning Coquille Saint Jacques, washed down with a glass of Cider or Calvados (apple brandy) in the village of Gureon.
Pommeau is Normandy's own 'aperitif' and is made from a mix of cider and calvados using time honoured recipes.
