OUR BEAUTIFUL REGION
CALVADOS
Discover Calvados
Sports, leisure, gastronomy, so many things to do and discover ...
Thalasso and casinos, Calvados presents you its relaxing menu. With its 12 marinas and as many golf courses, you can learn or improve in many disciplines.
In addition, 120 km of coasts, rivers and bodies of water are available for pleasure boating, wind sports, water sports or white water sports as well as for the practice of all kinds of water activities.
But let's not forget that Calvados is also the land of the horse par excellence. Thanks to the sea, its fertile land, its green grasslands from spring to winter, Calvados is a real land of breeding : we find here the biggest concentration of haras per hectare.
From the thoroughbred to the draught horse, from the trotter to the show horse, whether they are anonymous or champions, all of them live happily here in the apple tree fields that serve as their paddocks.
