Fifty metres of pathway separate your cottage from the sand of Sword Beach. Between Caen and the D-Day landing beaches, La Capricieuse is a five-star Yelloh Village campsite open from April to November.
Choosing a campsite in Normandy usually means choosing between the sea and the sights. At Luc-sur-Mer the question does not arise: La Capricieuse opens straight onto the Côte de Nacre, fifty metres from the beach, twenty-five minutes from Caen, thirty-five from Bayeux and ten from the landing beaches. You are by the water without giving up the region. The village offers ten kinds of accommodation — from cottages sleeping four to eight to four-flower pitches with private washrooms — a 1,500 m² water park heated to 30°C, a restaurant voted best in the Yelloh Village network, and a bar and bakery open seven days a week. One thousand four hundred and twenty-six families have rated it 9.3 out of 10, placing La Capricieuse among the five best Yelloh Villages in Europe out of one hundred and five sites.
Sword Beach begins at the end of the path; the five D-Day landing beaches stretch west along eighty kilometres of coast.
Three indoor pools heated to 30°C and an outdoor swimming pool, plus a restaurant, a bar and a bakery on site.
April, June, September and October are the gentlest months: quiet beaches, lower rates and the whole region to explore.
One path, then sand. The beach at Luc-sur-Mer slopes gently for almost two kilometres: supervised swimming in summer, shore fishing at low tide, sand yachting and catamarans at the sailing club. This is Sword Beach, the first of the D-Day landing beaches.
1,500 m² of water heated to 30°C: three covered pools beneath the palm trees, an outdoor swimming pool, a slide, water games for little ones and a jacuzzi. Covered and heated, it pays no attention to the Normandy sky.
For four to eight people, with a terrace, fitted kitchen and separate bedrooms. Premium models add a dishwasher, television and plancha grill. Ten options in all, from the three-flower cottage to the family holiday home.
For tents, caravans and motorhomes: spacious four-flower pitches bordered by hedges, some with private washrooms. Traditional camping, with five-star services.
Voted best restaurant in the Yelloh Village network, open seven days a week all year round. Seafood landed at Courseulles, Normandy cooking, a bar and a bakery: you can spend the whole week without touching the car.
Clubs by age group, playgrounds, a suspended rope course, inflatables, table tennis and bikes for hire. In the evening, shows and entertainment. Parents get the beach and the jacuzzi. See the activities.
It is the doubt most often raised about camping in Normandy — the Channel rarely rises above 18°C in August. Hence the covered water park: three indoor pools kept at 30°C all season, under a glass roof and palm trees, with a slide and a paddling pool. Outside, a swimming pool and a splash park take over as soon as the weather turns fine. The result: a swim under glass in the morning, the beach in the afternoon, and the forecast no longer runs your holiday. Discover the water park.
