If she's interested in fashion, I know you said it's a long way, but there's the Christian Dior museum at Granville and the town itself has lots of nice shops, bars and restaurants. Could be a good place for a long day out at the beach, museum, shops and dinner. Oh and if glam is what you want, there's also a casino, although I don't think they'd let your daughter in!
I agree, Caen is a pretty cool place to hang out, lots of bars and restaurants and shops.
Don't forget it's your holiday too though!

Well, we're just back from our week in Normandy with the reluctant teenager, and I think all had a good time. In the end we went to Franceville and Cabourg beaches which worked as a good combination for both parents and daughter and we will do again - the clothes shops in Cabourg provided an enjoyable alternative to sand and icecreams.
We also all went kayaking down the Orne and to the new Orne Adventure high-ropes course in the trees at Roche d'Oetre. Both provided happy afternoons for all three of us - and in both cases, said-daughter was much the most competent, giving us coaching and looking out for our safety rather than vice versa (the first time we have experienced this role reversal, no doubt not the last!)The high ropes course was great fun for all (youngish) ages - there are two routes for children (aged 5+ and over 1.15m) and four for teenagers & adults. Needless to say we only managed the easiest ones, whilst she swung her way confidently around the black route.
Sand yachting will wait for next time. I like to think that we oldies might do better at that as we sail dinghies - but somehow I fear that will not be the case.....!
Thanks for the other suggestions - logged for future use.
Hope you are all enjoying the summer too.

Great news Helen. It takes me back to the lovely holiday I had in Pyrenees with my two, aged 13 and 15. It was such an outdoorsy time and I found myself being pushed into things I normally would not have done. White water rafting, cable car up to Monge, paragliding off a mountain higher than Ben Nevis, mountain biking. I did the lot and wont forget any of it.
