Lifestyle

Renowned for its cheeses, cider and Calvados, it is popular with those looking for a tranquil second home to enjoy the French way of life and yet remaining accessible to the UK with ferry ports at Le Havre, Caen and Cherbourg as well as good road access back to the Tunnel. Golf, fishing, tennis and walking are amongst the sporting activities possible. The coastal areas offer apartments overlooking the sea and the wide sandy beaches. The area offers much historical interest in Bayeux plus the Normandy landing beaches.
