50 Manche
Region: Normandy
Manche is Normandy’s wild and watery edge—a peninsula surrounded by the English Channel, where coastal life, maritime history, and rolling green pastures create a timeless landscape.
Saint-Lô, the capital, is a practical hub with strong equestrian roots. Cherbourg, at the northern tip, is a bustling port town with maritime museums and ferries to the UK. Granville, Avranches, and Barfleur are coastal gems, rich with character and sea breeze.
The crown jewel is Mont-Saint-Michel, one of the world’s most iconic sights, rising dramatically from tidal flats. The Cotentin Peninsula offers remote beaches, wild cliffs, and tranquil villages ideal for nature and history lovers.
Homes range from stone cottages, coastal retreats, and farmhouses, to historic townhomes and converted mills. Manche appeals to buyers wanting seclusion, coastal charm, and cooler climates with strong cultural identity.
