Assets of Saint-Louet

The Contentin Region

Our farm is situated in the heart of Lower Normandy, the Cotentin Peninsula is a hidden gem on the Atlantic coast, offering breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and a wealth of cultural heritage. Saint-Louet is located near Valognes, often called "Le petit Versailles de Normandy". Positioned just south of the famous D-Day landing beaches, our location is steeped in history and surrounded by the natural beauty of the Normandy countryside.

The Cotentin region is renowned for its landscapes, the GR223; one of the most beautiful hikes in France, long stretches of wild beaches, and picturesque harbours and villages.

Lower Normandy is a place to enjoy gastronomy, many specialities such as Camembert, cider and, oysters are traditionally produced in the area.
