Where? Le Landemer Hotel in Urville-Nacqueville.
Why zen? This 150-year-old gem, freshly revitalized, gazes out to sea as the starting point—kilometer zero—of the customs officers' path in La Hague. It traces over 80 km of untamed coastline with moors, dunes, cliffs, and the sea. From your room's balcony, savor the salty sea air; stroll wind-swept sandy beaches along the English Channel; or day-trip to Jersey or Guernsey. It's the edge of the world—or close enough!
