Le Grand Large

With direct access to the wonderful beach and its sunset views over the sea and the Channel Islands, there are also many walking paths, a rugged coastline and historic towns, sites and battlegrounds of the Cotentin peninsula to explore. The site is also very handy for Cherbourg’s ferry port and the amazing ocean attraction, Cité de la Mer.

Owned and run by the Joret family, English spoken.
