Val de Saire: The name of the Saire applies not only to the valley of the Saire itself, but to the entire northeast of the peninsula. the Val is an attractive region due to the dense forests and the lively towns of Saint-Vaast and Barfleur. Thanks to the mild climate, the cattle can stay outside nine months out of twelve and the coastal strip even produces scoops.
