NORMANDIE PLAGE: Discover Hermanville-sur-mer

Do you want to escape from the seaside? A few kilometres from the coast are two villages where you can recharge your batteries and marvel at the beauty of the area! Set in time, the village of Plumetot charms us with its old stones and its narrow streets (Plumetot only had streets until 1985!). A true rural stopover in the Terres de Nacre, its green lanes offer a panorama of the sea as well as the countryside and are a good place to go for a walk with your family or with a four-legged friend. Take a stroll to its neighbour, Cresserons. Its architecture and its religious past are surprising. It was once a Protestant village, but today only vestiges of that era remain! Nevertheless, go through the door of the Church of Saint Jacques and you will be amazed.

Stretching over 33 hectares, from Douvres-la-Délivrande to the seafront at Luc-sur-Mer, the Capricieuse valley has a greenway that follows the Capricieuse stream A real green artery by the sea, this accessible walk, 2.5 kilometres long (5 kilometres round trip), follows the stream of the Capricieuse. We invite you to follow this peacefully flowing stream. During this walk, meet the friendly inhabitants of the Capricieuse. Sheep, horses and donkeys welcome you and approach you as you pass. As you pass by the shared orchard, enjoy the smell of the fruit trees in bloom. Once you reach the end of the valley, you arrive at the waterfront. This greenway follows the former route of the railway line linking Caen to Courseulles-sur-Mer from 1875 to 1950.

Come and take a stroll through the centuries in Dover-la-Délivrande. Old land of passage and occupation for many centuries, you will discover throughout your journey the rich heritage of Dover and its great history. You will walk in the footsteps of the many pilgrims who came to the Délivrande in the past to pay homage to the Black Virgin. The Barony, witness of the medieval importance of the town is the final bouquet of this walk. You will go back in time to the 13th century. A guaranteed "Coup de Coeur"!

The De la Brèche chapel was first built in 1932 and was then called the Chapelle des Baigneurs. It was damaged during the D-Day landings on June 6, 1944. In order to cope with the harsh winter, some inhabitants came to collect the planks of the Chapelle des Baigneurs to keep warm. The local parishioners decided and financed the construction of this new chapel in 1954. This beautiful chapel received the label "Heritage of the 20th century" in 2004.

Situated to the west of the beach at Lion sur mer, the Confessionnaux cliff is a unique and wild natural area. The caves, formed by the onslaught of the tides, offer an unusual sight, to be admired from afar. Indeed, the risk of landslides forbids approaching less than ten metres. This cliff is a geological and palaeontological site of international reference for the Upper Bathonian period (165 million years ago). Small quantities of fossils may be collected, but only on the beach, several metres from the cliff. As an added bonus, dogs are allowed on this part of the beach all year round.

Rocky beach bordered by the ‘Confessionaux’ cliffs - the ideal spot for shellfish gathering and for collecting fossils. It offers a unique view over the Côte de Nacre and Côte Fleurie coastlines.

In fine weather, you can also enjoy the garden, covered by Wi-Fi. > Coliving Coliving, literally "co-living", simply means "living together". In concrete terms, you have your own cabin, you share common spaces (large kitchen, living room, bathroom, coworking space, terrace, garden) and you do activities with the community (visits, walks, cycling, sailing, kayaking, paddle?). Every Saturday evening, there's a family dinner with all the colivers. Unlike a shared apartment, everything is ready when you arrive: sheets on the bed, towels, everything is included! At Les Briques, we have paid particular attention to aesthetics and ambience: the use of wood in the entirely bespoke fittings, the conservation of existing raw materials, and the presence of stoves in the kitchen and coworking area create an immediately warm atmosphere. Coliving is located on the first floor of Les Briques, which is entirely dedicated to it: this is where the dormitory, sanitary facilities, kitchen and lounge are located. This is your space. > L'Atelier Bois From January 2024, we will be offering individual and group woodworking courses, as well as personalized support for small and medium-sized woodworking projects. Jean, co-founder of Les Briques and a carpentry teacher for twenty years, who designed the interiors of the coliving and coworking facilities and our tea room, will run the courses in our fully-equipped woodworking workshop, ideally located on site. Details of our offer and course schedule will be available in November.
