We left Jérome and his lovely home to stay at an AirBnB in Pontaubault. We are heading mostly north to some beaches and harbors, then heading south along the west coast of the Cotentin Peninsula to Pontaubault where we will stay for three nights in an AirBnB. This day was for relaxation while traveling.

The smallest harbor in France, Port Racine, was originally built by a pirate. It is on a small peninsula west of Cherbourg. We parked nearby and walked all around there.

Little cabins are rented by boaters to store equipment. The small harbor has ropes for the boats to tie into.

Next, we arrived at Jobourg Cliff for views of this part of the English Channel. We walked around the peninsula for a bit.

In the region of Hague, we followed a tourist route to stay close to beaches on small roads. In the town of Siouville, we found a place for lunch.

Next, we visited the gardens around the home of Christian Dior, open to the public. The beautiful gardens are well kept. This much larger town is Granville.

We walked along the promenade then to to the local church, which was not open to enter due to disrepair. The stairs to the church are called “The Stairs of St Paul”.
