Between two trails swept by the sea breeze, some strategic breaks around a seafood platter, and an unexpected immersion in Korean culture, Cotentin proves once again that it knows how to surprise. Here, you can naturally transition from sea spray to seaweed, and from kimchi to oysters. The program is certainly packed!
Have a great weekend everyone, and save some appetite for adventure.
