Things to do

 Lessay is renowned for its wonderful Norman Abbey dating from the time of William the Conquerer which hosts classical concerts and recitals each July and August. Situated in a Regional Park, there are  numerous forest trails and nature trails on our doorstep. The old railway line, now converted to a national walking and cycle path, is within minutes of the property.  Also in Lessay is a Go-Karting stadium and nearby at St Saveur a water-sports centre on the river offering canoes and kayaking amongst other attractions. The whole of the Cotentin peninsula itself, steeped in history, has fantastic historic towns, abbeys and castles to visit - all nearby and easy to get to.

Of course, the fabulous, unspoilt blue-flagged beaches of St Germain sur Ay, Pirou and Portbail  are a major attraction- all less than 15 minutes drive away. The area is famed for its oysters, mussels and whelks - so if you enjoy fresh seafood - this is the place to be. The tides, being the largest in Europe, are great for going foot-fishing (peche a pied) on the beaches at low tide; with your bucket and pick, see what you can catch to BBQ when you get back!
