With this gorgeous green setting as its backdrop, your Sandaya campsite is perfect for a restorative getaway with everything you need: a water park to swim in happiness, very comfortable accommodation to house your little clan, free children’s clubs for young campers hoping to make some new friends, and an array of sports activities for every level.

Visit Carentan-Les-Marais with the family

Carentan-Les-Marais boasts rich cultural heritage that you’ll enjoy discovering with your little explorers. From the church of Notre-Dame with its ancient stained-glass windows, to the Dey and Maillé hotels that once welcomed Balzac and Napoleon I (no less!), and not forgetting the town hall, you will be amazed by the appeal of this small town typical of the Manche.   

The region is also brimming with museums devoted to the Second World War, which are a good idea for a family outing that combines education and enjoyment. And the D-Day Experience does just that: it comprises two museums, a giant 3D screen and a memorial on a 10,000 m2 site that will fully immerse you in this major event in recent history.

You simply can’t visit Normandy without stopping to see the D-Day landing beaches.
