Discover la Manche
People talk about the sea, but the department is easy to place on a map (it's long, from the tip of the Cotentin to Mont-Saint-Michel), but it's not the best known. Some know the southern part of the department, around Mont-Saint-Michel; others, the area around the D-Day landing beaches; and still others, the northern part of the Cotentin and the area around Cherbourg. And yet! Diverse though it may be, the département of La Manche is indeed a concrete administrative entity, and much more than that. In this part of your guide, you'll learn about the essentials of the département and get to know it better before you set out to explore it. From geography to history, from economics to fine arts, you'll see that there's a lot to do, and a lot to know! So that you don't come here without knowing the key elements, discover La Manche in a few sections.
