## Space


Nestled in lush greenery in Gouville-sur-Mer, a charming coastal village in the Manche department, this pretty, cosy and light-filled wooden cottage-style house welcomes you for a peaceful stay, just 1 km from the sea.

It is a unique setting, both poetic and typically Norman, which appeals to travellers in search of tranquillity and unspoilt landscapes.

## Neighbourhood


The house is located in the centre of Gouville-sur-Mer in the Linverville district, on a street lined with typical stone houses. The house is visible from the street and therefore easy to find.


Located on the west coast of the Manche department (50), in the Normandy region, Gouville-sur-Mer is a peaceful and authentic seaside resort, nestled between Agon-Coutainville to the south and Blainville-sur-Mer to the north. It faces the Channel Islands and offers exceptional views of the sea, dunes and Normandy meadows. Just 1 hour from Caen, 1 hour 20 minutes from Mont-Saint-Michel and 1 hour 15 minutes from Cherbourg, Gouville-Sur-Mer is accessible by train via Coutances.




Gouville is best known for its wild beaches lined with natural dunes, but above all for its famous beach huts with colourful roofs, which have become emblematic of the coastline. These small huts, once used as changing rooms away from prying eyes, now form a picturesque scene that attracts photographers and lovers of unusual landscapes.


The village is also appreciated for its peaceful setting, local market, local shops, cycle paths and proximity to Coutances (about 15 minutes away), a dynamic town with a railway station, schools, services and remarkable architectural heritage.


In terms of activities, Gouville-sur-Mer appeals as much to lovers of long walks on the beach, water sports (sand yachting, kitesurfing, paddleboarding, etc.) as well as those seeking peace, authenticity and nature.
