TOP Sports in Normandy, Brittany and Hauts-de-France! – Nohô

In the magnificent region of Normandy, where the waves meet the green pastures, sport is a real passion. If you’re into water sports, don’t miss the surf spots at Etretat or Agon-Coutainville, where you can challenge the waves of the English Channel. For thrill-seekers, parachuting over the D-Day landing beaches is a breathtaking experience. And if you prefer to stay on land, why not try horse-riding along the Normandy cliffs or cycling through the Normandy fields? Or pay a visit to our host Clément, who will offer you sports coaching to get you in shape for the summer!

In Brittany, the land of legends and impressive tides, the sport is rooted in the local culture. If you’re a keen sailor, you’ll be delighted by the many sailing schools along the Breton coast, where you can sail between the islands of the Golfe du Morbihan. Hiking enthusiasts can take to the famous GR34 coastal path, which offers breathtaking views of cliffs and wild beaches. And for a truly unique experience, don’t miss the surf festivals at Quiberon or the running competitions on the beach at Saint-Malo! If you need someone to show you the tourist places where you can do sport, you’ll be able to find our Host, who is offering a ‘sports tourism in Brittany’ share, so you can combine sport and sightseeing.

In the Hauts-de-France region, between the vast green plains and the spectacular coastline, sport is a way of life. Football fans will be delighted to discover Lille’s stadium, where local teams compete in exciting matches. If you prefer water sports, why not try your hand at sand yachting on the beaches of the Côte d’Opale or kayaking along the canals of the Somme? And for a truly immersive experience, take part in a bike race through the picturesque streets of Amiens or play a round of golf on one of the many courses in the region. And if you need a break from sport during your stay, you can pay a visit to our host Thomas, who will be delighted to teach you more about organic market gardening – but be warned, it’s no less physical!
