La Maison du Parc is the ideal starting point for organizing your discovery of the Cotentin and Bessin Marshes Regional Natural Park. You will find a lot of information and advice there for discovering this preserved territory.
The Maison du Parc is also a place to visit. Freely access the “Living in the Park in 2050” exhibition. Outdoors (paying) on ​​the hundred hectares of the Sensitive Natural Area of ​​the Ponts d'Ouve marshes, follow the path and take advantage of the observatories set up along the edge of the body of water (course of 2 to 5,5 km depending on the season).
