The cape of Carteret is the last of the great cape of Cotentin, opposite, the island of Jersey and the small islands of Ecrehou.

Top of cliff, one discovers in north a beautifull beach avoided sea reeds and in the south a long ribbon of beaches, natural shelters for the birds and the plants of the salted mediums.

While turning the back on the sea, in the east, a line of green hills, from where emergent of the bell-towers and mills, closes the horizon.
