Chausey is an archipelago located in the English Channel, about 17 km from the Normandy coast. It is composed of more than 365 islands and islets at high tide, but only about ten are permanently inhabited. Chausey is famous for its beautiful white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters, which attract many visitors every year. The main activities on the archipelago are fishing, oyster farming and tourism. If you stay at our campsite in Chausey, you will be able to observe a protected natural site, home to a wide variety of sea birds and other rare animal and plant species.
