Holiday rentals in the Cotentin
The Cotentin is a French peninsula in the north of the Manche département in Normandy. This holiday destination is particularly popular with tourists for its beautiful scenery, numerous seaside resorts and fine sandy beaches.
Discover the Cotentin and the surrounding area during your stay in La Manche
The Cotentin region has a very rich cultural heritage. The region was marked by the Second World War, and you'll find relics or museums dedicated to this part of history in a large number of towns and villages in La Manche. Sainte-Mère-Eglise, Cherbourg and Sainte-Marie-du-Mont all have museums dedicated to this period. In La Manche, you will have the opportunity to visit Utah Beach, one of the beaches on which the Allies landed on 6 June 1944.
The department's cultural heritage is not limited to the Second World War and is diverse to appeal to all types of audience. For example, you'll enjoy spending a day at the Cité de la Mer, one of the largest aquariums in France and Europe, to discover the local flora and fauna, or visit the Christian Dior Museum, dedicated to the history of the famous fashion designer. Some of the historic buildings in La Manche were destroyed during the Second World War, but many châteaux and manor houses have survived, including the Château de Pirou, the Château de Bricquebec-en-Cotentin and the medieval Château de Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte. In the villages of the Normandy bocage, you'll also find many half-timbered houses, typical of Normandy.
