With history from the 16th century and the birthplace of several famous musicians as well as painters it still attracts artists and is loaded with artgalleries.

No doubt this is a touristattraction well noticed during weekends but at this time of the year during ordinary workingdays it`s a relaxed atmospere.

Staying in Vieux Basin you are in the centre of it all. Any cruiser en route through the English Channel thinking like me that there are no good stopovers in Normandie, do give this place a chance . Allthough a bit high marinafees it`s well worth a visit.

Coming in to port after a passage you are allways curious of what you will find and it`s easy to smile when you like what you see.
