For an unforgettable stay in Normandy
A quintessential luxury campsite, La Vallée does not only rely upon its comfort and the quality of its facilities to appeal to tourists. The proximity to the seaside, the beach of Houlgate and the seaside resorts of Dives sur Mer and Cabourg are also real attractions, as well as its geographical location that offers guests the chance to easily reach many other tourist sights in Normandy...
Thus, it only takes around a ten-minute walk to reach the huge sandy beach of Houlgate, the pearl of the Côte Fleurie, considered to be one of the most beautiful beach resorts of the Normandy coast. Along the sea, beautiful buildings and villas, dating mostly from the beginning of the last century, form a postcard scenery that is really nice to admire from the beach.
The beach is the theatre of many fun and water activities. The vast majority of tourists come here to swim, relax in the sun and let the children play and build sand castles, but others can practise water skiing, wake boarding, kayaking, stand up paddle, etc. You can register at the Houlgate sailing school to get the hang of sailing on an optimist, a dinghy, a catamaran or try out windsurfing.
Respectively located at 3.7 and 5.2 kilometres from campsite La Vallée, the beach resorts of Dives sur Mer and Cabourg are also worth a walk and why not, make a stop at the casino! A bit further, the D-Day beaches are a highly recommended must-see. Around here you can visit many museums, memorials, military cemeteries and other traces of this era, allowing you to learn more about the events of D-Day...
