Aparthotels in the département of Calvados
You are sure to love spending a few days in Calvados. Life there is gentle yet there are plenty of things to do. Visit Omaha Beach to take in the atmosphere of one of the key locations in the Normandy Landings. Any amateur historians may also want to explore Pegasus Bridge or even William the Conqueror's castle. Choose an aparthotel in Caen to browse the vast market at the leisure port or to visit its memorial. You can even see the fishing boats come in at the Port-en-Bessin auction house. Then, get some fresh air at the Pointe du Hoc. Don't forget to visit the Bayeux Tapestry Museum. This incredible tapestry is over 70 metres long and was made in the 11th century. Continue by meeting the animals at Cerza Zoo, the perfect day out for families, or take to the skies by climbing to the top of the trees on the various adventure courses in the area. The more daring among you can try bungee jumping or the giant zip line.

Continue your exploration of the Basse-Normandie region with a stop in Manche. Our favourite spot is Mont-St-Michel, a legendary landmark perched upon a rock, dominating the area.
