A new observatory has been open at the Grand'Mare de Sainte-Opportune since April 2025. (The old one was damaged during a storm.) A must-see for bird lovers and those who love nature. The cottage route is very pleasant, and you can enjoy an unforgettable 30-km tour.

The Grand'Mare observatory (free) has been renovated and rebuilt for a few months after two years of work. It's a magnificent view of the birds returning en masse, and luckily, the horses roaming free. Pure bliss.

Honfleur is a very beautiful Norman town with beautiful houses, harbors, small alleys, and many fish restaurants. It's worth spending an extra day here.
