The apartment is in a prime location within easy walking distance of Carteret's attractive High Street, bustling waterfront and beautiful sandy beaches. You can choose whether to relax and not go far during your stay - or use it as a base to explore La Manche area of Normandy and its rich history.

La Manche stretches from Mont St Michel to the tip of the Cotentin Peninsula, with picturesque seaside towns and gorgeous scenery to enjoy along the way. It has a fascinating maritime heritage and many remnants from D-Day and the Battle of Normandy.

Key places we have visited during our own trips to Carteret include:
- Mont St Michel, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and well worth a day trip!
- Granville, the birthplace of Christian Dior with an interesting museum and gardens to visit there
- Cherbourg with its incredible Cite de la Mer, including the largest submarine open to the public to visit in the world
- The Landing Beaches and associated museums/visitor centres.

Of course, pottering about Carteret itself and nearby market towns of Barneville and Portbail can be every bit as enjoyable as big day trips!

For English visitors, the apartment is just 30 minutes' drive from Cherbourg, so getting there is very straightforward.
