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.
