Happiness by the sea

Gouville-sur-Mer and Blainville-sur-Mer

The sea air that blows over your holiday

If you want to spend a holiday by the open sea, Blainville-sur-Mer and Gouville-sur-Mer are two perfect places for it. A major oyster-farming centre in Normandy, these two towns offer wonderful opportunities for an salty stopover in the Manche department.

Blainville-sur-Mer and Gouville-sur-Mer are two communes located on the seaside. With the rhythm of the tides, they come alive and draw their wealth from the sea.

Oyster farming as well as tourism give them an aspect profoundly focussed on the sea. They both have beaches perfect for spending time with family and friends or for enjoying seaside activities such as fishing or water sports.

Lighthouses, nature, land, hiking, landscapes: simply happiness !

Looking out to sea, you can see the Sénéquet lighthouse and enjoy a splendid panorama. The beauty of the place and the preserved nature will allow a total disconnection to the walkers.

Many shops and services are located in the villages but it is on Friday mornings and Monday mornings during the summer season that you can come and discover the local specialities at the market installed in the village square of Gouville-sur-Mer. Many oyster and mussel farmers open the doors to their workshops and offer tasty sea products for sale.

The two communes are full of footpaths and small roads to be explored on foot, by bike or on horseback. The GR 223 road along the coastline offers different views every day and allows you to rediscover the seaside at your own pace.
