A WHOLE VARIETY OF NORMANDY LANDSCAPES

Variety. That’s the word that sums up Normandy best.
With a coastline dotted with reputed seaside resorts, not forgetting the Mont Saint-Michel, an island monastery in a magical setting, Normandy’s varied stretches of coast offer so many attractions. Normandy also boasts a whole mosaic of landscapes, from lush agricultural lands, via centuries-old forests, to natural parks and nature reserves, making it a green destination par excellence.

REPUTED GASTRONOMY

Going hand in hand with Normandy’s landscapes is the delicious gastronomy produced in its varied areas, featuring lashings of butter and cream! Specialities, sweet and savoury, abound. From tripe cooked the Caen way to scallops, via La Mère Poulard’s renowned omelettes, the region offers dedicated gourmets many joyous moments.

A 1,000-YEAR-OLD HERITAGE

On heritage, a large number of museums, monuments and archaeological sites are scattered across the region. That’s no surprise; simply starting with the Vikings, Normandy’s history already goes back over 1,000 years! The Bayeux Tapestry, Rouen Cathedral and Richard the Lionheart’s Château Gaillard count among significant witnesses to Normandy’s importance in French history. Of course, the region draws countless tourists to its World War II memorial sites, its coast chosen for the D-Day landings of 6 June 1944. Every year, commemorations ensure that the sacrifice made by Allied troops to liberate France and Europe is never forgotten.
