Normandy by the Sea

Revealing unobstructed views of the Normandy coastline, this duplex apartment in Luc-sur-Mer is the ideal getaway location for those looking to experience quintessential countryside France – all while being just a stone's throw away from the sea.

Relax, unplug and immerse yourself in the complete Normandy experience – as from here, switching off and chilling out is a breeze. It will all start from the moment you open your eyes each morning, as from the bedroom windows (visible from under the covers), you'll be greeted by vistas of the soothing seascape and bobbing waters.

Once you've managed to tear yourself out of bed, the balcony terrace calls – as there's no place better to sip your morning coffee and tuck into some fresh French pastries (from the local bakery within walking distance). Listen to the waves lap into the shore and let your worries float free – as the Normandy coast awaits with an array of unmissable activities.

From sailing opportunities (a seven-minute walk away) and other water sports activities, including surfing, paddleboarding and kitesurfing, to cycling, hiking, and simply meandering in and out of the town's pretty shops, restaurants and markets – you'll be well and truly in for a treat here. For adventures slightly further afield, why not hop in the car and visit Juno Beach, the Memorial of Caen or the landing beaches?
