Cerza is a hidden gem that doesn't seem to be very well known even in France. We loved it so much, we went there this year again after having spent a week in July 2017. We stayed in the lodges both time - they are very comfortable with a well-equipped kitchen plus heating AND air conditioning. You can choose to relax in the lodges and then saunter over to the main Park area whenever you want during opening hours. This is also a great base to explore Normandy - we went as far as Michel St. Mont one day. There are wallabies, deer and different birds even around the lodges, plus a decent play area so my daughter was never bored even in the lodges. I don't think we switched the TV on even once. BIG PLUS this time - the lodges have great WiFi connection this year. My wife was able to work from there on a couple of days.

We visited this zoo while on our summer holidays. The zoo is fairly well publicised and signposted. The parking is well set out and plentiful. Staff at the entrance are very friendly and helpful and speak English if your French isn't good. There is a wide variety of animals from Guinea pigs to giraffes, all in well looked after habitats. Watch out for the goats if you feed them. Great fun but the bigger ones can be a little boisterous! We had lunch at the Sandwich bar. The chicken nuggets and chips were freshly cooked and the beef sandwich was amazing. A big lunch fot four of us came to about 50 euros but it was huge and we could easily have shared. Overall we had a fantastic day, adults and children alike. Definitely going back next holiday.

Come and visit La Cité de la Mer in Cherbourg, a family attraction all about man’s adventures under the sea, and a must when you are in Normandy. You can spend the whole day here and go round “Titanic, return to Cherbourg”, an exhibition which has its like nowhere else in France. It is on the theme of the celebrated liner, but also on emigration. You will also be able to listen to the Captain of Le Redoutable telling you about his life on board the largest submarine open to the public in the world. Then you will gaze in awe at our 17 aquariums, including the magical, 11-metre-deep, Abyssal Aquarium.

We stopped off on a cruise. The museum was right next to the cruise terminal and worth every euro. The Titanic exhibition was particularly good as was the nuclear submarine.
