Don't forget mosquito spray. The many small ponds are a mosquito Eldorado. You can also fish in the large lake. Dogs must be kept on a leash throughout the Landscape Park, but there are places on the lake where you can let them swim with a tow leash.

Gateway to the Cotentin peninsula and "capital of the marshes", it is located in the middle of beautiful green landscapes, home to the cattle and horses that have made the region famous.

The city was heavily bombed in June 1944, however some beautiful monuments have been preserved in the center.
