It was in the heart of Normandy, in the Calvados department, that we came to experience Vanlife, in total autonomy. A look back at our experience<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

First time in Normandy<\/strong> and our first weekend away in a converted van. It was a new experience that we couldn’t wait to share with you. But first, a brief presentation of Caen la Mer<\/strong>, This surprising territory of 366 km2 is made up of 48 communes and 4 romantic seaside resorts: Lion-sur-mer, Hermanville-sur-mer, Colleville-Montgomery and Ouistreham Riva Bella<\/strong>. But it’s also 10 kilometers of sandy beach, 15 kilometers of canal between Caen and the sea, a thalassotherapy center, 277 kilometers of bike paths including the v\u00e9lofrancette and v\u00e9lomaritime routes, and 25% of the total surface area of the city of Caen dedicated to green spaces.<\/p>\n

At Caen la Mer, you’ll find fresh air all year round and the chance to sample local produce from sustainable agriculture: local fruit and vegetables, legendary cheeses, seafood, fish caught that very morning, as well as some famous dishes whose names are bound to ring a bell: Caen tripe<\/strong> but also Teurgoule and bri\u00e9 bread.<\/p>\n

But Caen la Mer is also the pride of a thousand-year-old heritage, with a unique and striking history on its beaches and under every stone of every building: from the Viking roots to the Allied landings in 1944, via William the Conqueror, you can’t miss the region’s historical milestones.<\/p>\n
