Days out in Normandy

Le Domaine de Chambray

Le Domaine de Chambray

Take a step back in time and explore this old Norman chateau. Explore meticulously preserved 18th-century architecture, wander through manicured gardens, and savor the fragrant orchards that produce some of Normandy's finest apples. But what truly sets Domaine de Chambray apart is its exquisite Calvados production. Delve into the art of distillation, learn the secrets of crafting this renowned apple brandy, and savour its complex flavours during tastings. 

Normandy bayeux tapestry

Bayeux

The small town of Bayeux features the Notre Dame Cathedral was consecrated in 1077 by none other than William the Conqueror himself.  And it was even home to the Bayeaux tapestry for hundreds of years, before it was moved to its own museum.  The incredibly detailed Bayeaux tapestry is a 1,000 years old, 70 metre long embroidered cloth which tells the story of the events leading up to the Norman conquest of England by William the Conqueror and the Battle of Hastings. It is now on display in the Musée de la Tapisserie de Bayeaux, just half an hour away from the Siblu campsite in Normandy.

Normandy landing beach Utah

Normandy D Day landing beaches

Not far from the ferry port at Caen our Siblu campsite in Normandy are the D-day beaches where the famous ‘Normandy landings’ paved the way for the end of World War II. Today, these long sandy beaches are calm and beautiful: they seem ideal for taking a dip, a stroll or for enjoying a crêpe while gazing out to sea. It’s almost hard to believe that less than 80 years ago, this peaceful shoreline was the site of brutal fighting during the largest seaborne invasion in history. At Arromanches you can visit the D-day museum to gain a greater understanding of the operation and its context within Second World War, or immerse yourself in the moving 360 cinema experience which really brings the events of 1944 to life.

How to get to Normandy

The easiest way to get to your Normandy campsite is to take a cross-channel ferry and drive - or ride your bicycle!

There are two main operators including Brittany Ferries and Condor Ferries who operate crossings to Normandy. The shortest channel crossing routes from Dover to Calais means a quicker ferry crossing but a longer drive in France. 

If you are a keen cyclist, you could take your bike only onto a ferry and then it's a short ride from Caen, or slightly more of a challenge from Cherbourg. You have everything you need at the campsite, from accommodation to food, restaurants and entertainment.
