August is drawing to a close. On the roads, the holiday traffic jams begin. For many, it’s the end of summer. But for those in the know, for lovers of Normandy, <\/span>The best season is only just beginning.<\/b><\/p>\n

Ask the locals: the light in September on the Baie des Veys is unique. The sun is lower on the horizon, offering spectacular sunrises and sunsets. The marshes begin to take on golden and ochre hues, contrasting with the deep blue of the English Channel. It’s the perfect time for long, contemplative walks on Utah Beach, often deserted at this time of year. It’s a daily, free spectacle that never gets old. <\/span><\/p>\n

The campsite slows down. The hustle and bustle of families gives way to a peaceful atmosphere. It’s a special time for us. <\/span>Mich\u00e8le and Lucie<\/b>. Less rushed during peak season, we have more time to chat with you, share the history of our establishment, or recommend our secret spots for successful shellfish gathering. Here in September, we take the time to enjoy life. It’s the epitome of “slow tourism.” <\/span><\/p>\n
