Tips from the Community
A lovely arboretum located next to the eponymous nuclear power plant, not far from the village of Bertheauville. Wooden plaques engraved with names suggest that trees are planted to mark births in the town. It's right on the GR21 hiking trail. Two lovely tables offer a place to grab a bite to eat or simply stretch your legs. It seems to be open all the time.

An old Norman half-timbered house by the harbor. The front view is inaccessible or difficult to access due to construction workers on the street. However, the inner courtyard is also well preserved and bears witness to the carpentry skills of our ancestors.

Veulettes-sur-Mer is a small village with just 300 inhabitants. The 1.5 km long promenade dam protects the village from the sea during storms. Above on the rocky cliffs there are some restored bunkers, which are equipped with plenty of information boards
