Barneville-Carteret trip planner

Situated across from the Channel Islands, Barneville-Carteret is a seaside resort that assures you of its excellent water quality due to its recognition as a Blue Flag beach--a designation awarded to seaside areas adhering to specific environmental standards. This city, in the Manche department of the Lower Normandy region, is built on a hill, with planning dating to the Middle Ages. Barneville Plage is a residential area consisting primarily of campsites and vacation homes for you to rent. The influence of the Gulf Stream and mild winters allow the naturalization of Mediterranean and exotic plants, such as mimosas, palms, and agave. Barneville and Carteret evolved into resorts during the Belle Époque in 1921, classifying the area as a "tourist town," an official designation in France.
