The Coutances Mer et Bocage territory is multifaceted. With tidal inlets, seaside resorts, beach huts, oyster farms, dunes and lighthouses, the sea is omnipresent here and inspires adventure. Inland, the architectural heritage of Coutances can be explored during a stroll through its historic lanes. In May, jazz fills the air in the streets, churches and theatre. With its mix of sports, culture and coastal attractions, the Coutances territory has something for all of your clients, whether school, seminar or leisure groups.
