Adventourus Active Vacations

8 day Independent tour

Normandy is famous for its stunning steep coasts and seemingly endless beaches. You will follow the Grand Route 223 along the peninsula of Cherbourg. Many little coastal towns and French savoir vivre add to the charm of this tour.

Three days are spent on the Channel island of Jersey, famous for the unique mix of English and French culture. Large beaches, hidden coves, marvellous sand dunes and stunning cliffs are found on the shore of the island. The character varies according to season, with a wealth of ever changing colours.

The town of Urville may be reached easily by taxi from Cherbourg (approx. 30km).

Overnight in Auderville

Day 3: Anderville - Biville/Dielette

Along the coast on Grand Route 223 to Biville, then by taxi to Dielette, the smallest port of France.

By the French walking Grand Route 223 on the edge of the sea, the peninsula Cherbourg is almost circled.

From Carteret (Grandville) you take the ferry to Jersey. By public bus to Saint John on the northern coast.

Walk to Bouley Bay and to the port of Gorey, or a second tour to Grosnez point – the north-west point of the island. Several other tours also available.

Return to Cherbourg, with the largest man-made port of the world. You will have enough time to visit the city and explore its historic centre.

Day 9: Departure day or extension of trip

After breakfast your tour comes to an end and you may begin your journey home. We would also be more than happy to extend your stay in Europe.
