Les Mouettes, Beachfront campground in Veules-les-Roses, France
Les Mouettes is a campground on the Alabaster Coast with 110 pitches separated by natural hedges. The site includes 28 mobile homes and 7 canvas bungalows alongside traditional tent areas.
The campground was established during France's post-war growth in outdoor tourism around the mid-20th century. Its development reflects the rising popularity of seaside camping across Normandy.
The campsite serves as a gateway to Norman traditions, with direct access to local markets where regional products and seasonal seafood are sold.
A heated indoor pool operates from April through September for all guests. Direct access to coastal paths leads to scenic viewpoints along the white chalk cliffs.
The site sits near France's shortest river, which spans just a few meters. This geographical oddity gives the location a distinctive local character that visitors notice while exploring the area.
