What’s Port Racine?
Discover this place of rare beauty: one of Jacques Prévert’s favourite spots, where he owned a house in nearby Omonville la Petite.
It’s a small but beautiful corner of paradise at the westernmost tip of the Cotentin peninsula, in Saint-Germain-des-Vaux.
With a surface area of 800 m² and an opening between the 2 piers of 11 metres,this harbour is reputed to be the smallest in France. Only boats 5.50 m long and 2 m wide can access it. This Lilliputian haven is nestled in a landscape that irresistibly evokes Celtic scenery, hence its nickname of “Little Ireland”.
