:''Not to be confused with the Dutch city named [[The Hague]].''
'''La Hague''' is a region on the tip of the [[Cotentin peninsula]] in [[Normandy]], [[France]].
La Hague is a picturesque place of [[Precambrian]] granite cliffs, coves and small fields surrounded by hedges. It faces the [[Channel Islands]] and there any many cousins on both side of the [[Alderney]] race.
The dialect of the [[Norman language]] spoken by a minority in the region is called ''[[Cotentinais|Haguais]]''. The Norman poet [[Côtis-Capel]] was a native of the region and used the landscape as inspiration for his poetry. The painter [[Jean-François Millet]] was also a native of the region.
The [[COGEMA La Hague site]], the largest Light Water Reactor Nuclear Waste Reprocessing Plant on Earth (over half of the world's capacity), is located in the region.
