Angling

There are miles of first category waters where trouts are particularly dominant while the many lakes (formerly gravel pits) are home to some very large carps. Licences are required, especially for first category rivers but assistance is always at hand at the local tackle shop or bar.

Walking  The well-established Randonnée Network of trails covers some of the most spectacular scenery in Normandy with its numbered “GR” routes. While at the other end of the scale, local tourist offices will be able to suggest interesting circuits around their particular town or village.

Golf

Normandy has almost 40 courses, which are as varied as the landscapes they occupy

 

 

Horse-riding The horse is king in Normandy. Whether you fancy a guided trek across the sand on the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel, witnessing the weekly parades at the Haras du pin national Stud or enjoying an evening at the trotting races in Cabourg, you’ll not go far before you notice Normandy’s love of horses.  Contact : Comité national de tourisme équestre: tel. 0033 153 261 550
