Fort of La Hougue

Highlight • Castle

While the inside of the defensive fortress might still be closed for renovations, the water moat and the walls reaching all around this strategic peninsula are quite well preserved.

Right next to it on the left is the best boulangerie in town. Their specialty: brioche feuilleté. A must-try!
