25 kilometres away from the middle of Gatteville-le-Phare is the Manoir de Savigny. Another option is the Hôtel Les Fuchsias, which is 11 kilometres away.

The broader Normandy region is certainly worth exploring also. Photographers will appreciate Normandy's rural landscapes, beaches, coastal plains and impressive rock formations. If the great outdoors are not your cup of tea, head to a selection of the region's ruins and castles. Locals and visitors alike in this section of France often enjoy rock climbing.

Don't blow through before you have checked out the Cite de la Mer, Fort du Roule and Basilique de la Trinite in Cherbourg. The Hotel Kyriad Cherbourg - Equeurdreville and Hotel Campanile Cherbourg - La Glacerie are just some of the great apartment and hotel alternatives in Cherbourg. Or, you could consider staying in Barneville-Carteret, 50 kilometres to the southwest of Gatteville-le-Phare, where you can pick from the Hôtel Restaurant des Isles and Hôtel des Ormes. Whether you're just passing through or staying in Barneville-Carteret, don't miss the Carteret Beach and Carteret Lighthouse.

If you're flying into Gatteville-le-Phare, Carpiquet Airport is your most practical gateway. It is 80 kilometres from downtown. The ibis Caen Porte De Bretagne is a nearby hotel.
