France’s Little Ireland
By Linda Tancs
Situated in the Manche département, the Cotentin Peninsula is a peninsula in Normandy that forms part of the northwest coast of France. It’s affectionately known as France’s “little Ireland” due to its Ireland-like landscape boasting green countryside dotted with sheep, quaint villages and a rugged coastline. Among the many gems in the area are D-Day sites like the Utah Beach Museum, picturesque harbor towns like Quinéville and Barfleur and UNESCO-designated fortifications at Vauban. The Normandy Discovery Pass offers unlimited travel over two days for two people on all intra-Normandy journeys by train or Nomad coach. You can reach the area by car or train from Paris as well or via ferry from England or Ireland.
