Domaine de Litteau, a campsite where you can have a refreshing break in the country in Calvados
The Domaine de Litteau is located in Litteau in Calvados, halfway between the medieval city of Bayeux and Saint-Lô, the capital of horse riding in France. A member of the Siblu group, this haven of peace in Normandy, invites you to put your feet up, and make the most of your holiday to recharge your batteries. At the heart of the Cerisy Forest, 21 hectares of greenery and pure air, just for you and your loved ones.
A perfect setting for lovers of the countryside
It is certainly in this 4-star campsite in Calvados that the expression “have a refreshing break in the country” was born. This is because everything is harmoniously arranged, so that you are as close as possible to the countryside: meadows, pretty wooded valleys, and 2 magnificent natural lakes, so you can indulge in fishing. Not forgetting the delightful Cerisy Forest nearby, where you are able to, during your hikes, look out for stags, deer, roe deer and various does, which joyfully inhabit this wood of beech and oak trees.
Lovers of water are not left out. An indoor heated water park, will offer you the chance to swim, even at the beginning or end of the season. The water slide and the paddling pool will delight children who will have fun entirely safely, under the supervision of lifeguards, and you will then have the opportunity to go fishing in water full of good catches, in the 2 natural lakes on the campsite.
This outdoor establishment in Normandy also enables you to let off steam on a beach volleyball court, assess your level for pétanque, have a ride on the back of a pony, and lastly have a game of table tennis.
A haven of peace and delight for families

Each accommodation unit has a private terrace, a barbecue, an equipped kitchen and a cosy living area.
On the Domaine de Litteau campsite, owing to the Fun Pass included in your stay booking, your children will easily leap from play to sports activities. They will also jump from the Fun club to the video games room, via the multi-sport ground and make the most, depending on their age of a multitude of entertainment and activities at the kids club (for those aged 4 and upwards).
