The lighthouse is 14 meters high and consists of a cylindrical tower covered with white and green paint. The lighthouse has a halogen lamp and is 20 miles (37 km) long. The lighthouse at Le Treport is automated and can not be visited. It can mark, however, a pleasant walk on the coast. #Trovember](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6035168/7bd1e880-269e-4936-ac98-685ed65017ba.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Le Treport Beach 18 min drive \- 20.2 km - St. Jacques Church 18 min drive \- 17.9 km - Office de Tourisme Le Treport 19 min drive \- 17.9 km - Funiculaire du Treport 19 min drive \- 20.5 km - Mers-les-Bains Beach 20 min drive \- 18.8 km ### Getting around - St-Vaast-d'Equiqueville Station 22 min drive ### Restaurants - Le Caves Normandes 10 min drive - Pour Koi Pas 13 min drive - La Cafet'Hyères 11 min drive - Au Bienvenue 11 min drive - La Taverne 10 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Normandy cocoon for couples with table d'hôtes, workshops and unspoilt nature pet-friendly? ### How much is parking? ### Where is Normandy cocoon for couples with table d'hôtes, workshops and unspoilt nature located? ## Have a question?

Aug 23, 2021 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy #### Ne pas se fier aux photos et au descriptif du site Malgré le charme de l'environnement campagne du gîte, la description, les équipements et la qualité générale étaient très très loin de la vérité. Gîte très sale (toiles d'araignées partout), literie douteuse (tâches sur le matelas et pas de protège matelas). Robinetteries cuisine et salle d'eau défectueuses, petit électroménager entartré et sale, lave-vaisselle très sale et non vidé (depuis combien de temps ?) le four très ancrassé, les poêles plus qu'usées et sales (graisses) 1 seule casserole piquée. La vaisselle était couverte de tartre... La propriétaire a constaté dès notre arrivée l'état de son gîte ; elle est revenue avec un aspirateur qu'elle a passé à dans la chambre mais ne s'est pas inquiétée de la pièce de vie. On nous avait assuré un parking sécurisé et fermé la nuit (pour nos vélos) mais la barrière n'a jamais été fermée. Notre séjour a bien entendu été totalement gâché par l'insalubrité des lieux. Nous avions réservé 2 semaines ce qui représente un coût ! Extrêmement déçus de l'expérience ABRITEL, nous aimerions savoir comment les gîtes sont contrôlés, quelles sont les obligations des propriétaires ? Mettre des photos et un descriptif en ligne qui datent de plusieurs années mériteraient un suivi sérieux et professionnel. Nous ne renouvellerons pas notre expérience Abritel en raison du manque de sérieux et des annonces mensongères. Peut-on imaginer un remboursement partiel de notre facture suite à ces désagréments et à l'impact que cela a eu sur nos 2 semaines de vacances.

Après une année 2020 particulièrement "spéciale"... Nous avons décidé de nous échapper un peu à 2 pour le réveillon du Jour de l'An. Magnifique petit gîte "Grain d'Orge" ! Jolie décoration actuelle mais aussi faite d'objets de récup' ! Parfaite association ! Il ne manque rien d'un point de vue équipement de la maison : TOP ! Nous avons choisi de nous faire "livrer" les petits-déjeuners, et les petits paniers sont très très bien garnis ! Un petit plaisir ! Nous avons également apprécié le côté "renouvelable" et "durable" proposé par Julie et son mari ; en effet, le gîte possède un petit poulailler ! Hop ! Tous les déchets organiques aux poules ;) Par ailleurs, nous avions d'un côté des chevaux, un coq et ses poules et des vaches évidemment. Véritablement, nous recommandons le Clos Charmaine, et nous gardons précieusement cette adresse pour d'autres escapades ! Audrey & Jérôme ##### AUDREY D.
