More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of a cool, air‑conditioned minivan and into a stretch of coastline where the wind seems to carry stories. On one side, the pale sand of Omaha Beach runs under sheer limestone bluffs; on the other, the tidal flats around Mont‑Saint‑Michel draw the eye to a rocky island crowned by an abbey that climbs into the sky.
