The Surroundings

The Cotentin region, in the Manche department, where Château le Colombier is located, is a privileged place. And everything you need to make every day a privilege will be close at hand, between beaches, gardens and historic sites.

Charming towns like Bayeux with its Tapestry and medieval houses, Caen with its castle and abbeys, Valognes, Sainte-Mère Eglise and its parachutist John Steel, Cherbourg and the Cité de la mer, Saint Vaast la Hougue and the Ile de Tatihou and much more to discover.

If you're looking for relaxation, take advantage of the beach, marina and water sports, golf, walking, cycling, mountain biking or horse riding.

The Maison du Parc naturel régional des Marais du Cotentin et du Bessin welcomes birdwatchers and invites you to climb aboard an electric boat, where you are the sole master, to admire the moat and its inhabitants,

Further afield, 105km away, enjoy the charm of Mont Saint Michel and its surroundings, unless you want to cross the bay with a qualified guide.

For those interested, visit Utah Beach and its museum, Omaha Beach and the American cemetery, Sainte-Mère Eglise, home to the 101°air borne museum and the Sainte-Mère Eglise cookie factory, the Azeville and Crisbecq batteries, the Néville blockhouses, the Caen and Bayeux memorials. Don't forget the D-Day Experience Museum in Saint Côme du Mont, with its 360° cinema and aircraft simulator. Treat yourself to a jeep tour through the marshes to Utah Beach, and enjoy a little piece of the Atlantic Wall.

There's only one place where you can feel at one with nature: "la pointe de Brévands", 6km from our château-farm. On foot, by bike or even by car, take a breather in the sea breeze and make the most of this exceptional spot, where even the seals bask in the sun.
