Micro-aventure au bord de l'eau
Does the term “adventure” spontaneously take your mind to the ends of the world?
Forget the borders, because it is in France that we will meet you, in the heart of wild and captivating nature, on the heights of the oldest cliffs in Europe!
Here on the edge of the world, the elements express themselves with force, sculpting the Cotentin for millennia with great storms and surges, until giving it the appearance of Ireland.
Although in Henry's opinion, it is rather Ireland which resembles Cotentin.
Knowing this secret land like the back of his hand, he takes you on an immersion in nature. A human adventure that you will not forget!

Program
Day 1
It is in Cherbourg, the largest port in Cotentin, that the adventure begins.
Stage 1: Departure from Cherbourg
Meet Henry, your guide, before heading together on the winding “Route des Caps” towards the cliffs of La Hague.
Little by little the urban landscape gives way to a grandiose and colorful coastline.
Step 2: Arrival at camp
Adjoining the Vauville Botanical Garden, your camp benefits from a bird's-eye view of the pond nature reserve located below, towards the sea.
The tents have already been set up before your arrival, so all you have to do is settle in before setting off on foot towards the beach.
Step 3: Fishing at Dusk
Your first mission is to catch fish to supplement your evening meal. To do this, head to the beach, fishing rod in hand!
In the Hague, coves follow large beaches, bordered by immense massive dunes or steep cliffs.
This is the true definition of an “open space”!
Once the meal is prepared, you share it together facing the sea and the setting sun, getting to know each other in good humor and to the sound of the surf...
Day 2
Step 1: Coasteering session
Mixing canyoning and hiking, this sport is offered and supervised by the Hague sea rescuers. 120 meters of verticality dominate your adventure terrain. Here in Cotentin, the oldest cliffs in Europe are dizzying. Climb through crevasses, jump from rocky peaks, swim between reefs... thrills are guaranteed!
Step 2: Hike
After a comforting picnic, you have to walk a few kilometers of trail to reach the inn where you will spend the night.
The opportunity to learn to recognize the surrounding nature, in particular the edible wild plants that you will cook for dinner.
Step 3: Evening and overnight stay in a hostel
At the end of this intense day, the comfort of Simon's inn feels like a reward. La Buhôtellerie Backpacker is the friendly place par excellence, a popular stopover for GR223 hikers, who, judging by the pins on the show's planisphere, sometimes come from the ends of the earth...
Day 3
Step 1: Mega-paddle challenge
Balance and coordination will be your strengths today.
It is not on a raft but on a mega-paddle that you will have to climb up and reach your objective located 9km away together within a given time.
Will the current and waves be your friends or obstacles?
Only nature will decide…
Step 2: Picnic and return to Cherbourg by zodiac
Your micro-adventure is coming to an end. To end this experience with style, you will return to Cherbourg by zodiac.
But not without taking the time to enjoy a picnic on the water, to enjoy these captivating landscapes a little longer!
