The parc is a perfect launch pad for exploring this fantastic region, which can often be overlooked by families who don't realise that the beaches are huge, the sea tends to be warmer than the Atlantic, and the history is fascinating for all ages.

Begin at the town of Camembert to sample its famous cheese, followed by lunch at Port en Bessin (try the oysters), or perhaps you'll prefer prize winning Coquille Saint Jacques, washed down with a glass of Cider or Calvados (apple brandy) in the village of Gureon.
Pommeau is Normandy's own 'aperitif' and is made from a mix of cider and calvados using time honoured recipes.
