The Normandy / Manche region

Normandy has a rich heritage of cathedrals, battlefields, chateaux, beaches and fine cuisine. Normandy gets its Name from the 10th-century Norman Vikings that settled in the region.

The real highlights of the region of Normandy include the long and wonderful beaches (Norman Riviera) and irresistible ancient harbours. Deauville still attracts the Paris crowds with its villa's, horse racing and casinos. Worth visiting too are Honfleur and Barfleur, ports with elegant promenades and superb ancient charm.

The food of Normandy owes its most distinguishing characteristic – it's gut-bursting, heart pounding richness – to the lush orchards and dairy herds of its agricultural heartland. This is especially true of the area south east of Caen. Normandy's long coastline also ensures that the seafood is superb and a real speciality of Normandy.

Rouen is the capital of Normandy, and remains one of France's most ancient and historically significant cities. This fine medieval city would still feel familiar to Joan of Arc, whose life came to a painful and tragic end in its main square.

More recently the Blitz bombs that ravaged the city during the 2nd World War destroyed all of Rouen's bridges and the industrial area, so much so that you will be forgiven for not realizing that the Seine once meandered through its centre.

Normandy boasts a fine history, Chateau Gaillard was Richard the Lionheart's fortress, The Bayeux Tapestry is one of the world famous historical documents (detailing the Saga of William the Conqueror) and more recently the war cemetreies and museums are a constant reminder of the D-Day landings and the brutal conflict with the Germans.

Visit the invasion beaches and really learn about the fascinating and desperately distressing Battle of Normandy. The famous Mt. Saint Michel Abbey is worth a visit, it's second to the Eiffel Tower as France's most popular landmark, and visits to the abbey are free and unrestricted.

Because of Normandy's proximity to the UK, Normandy is an extremely popular for long weekend breaks and chateau holidays. Normandy has some of the best golf courses in France, but despite growing annual tourist figures every year the region remains largely untouched and unspoilt.

The Cherbourg area

To the French the spirit of Normandy is in its produce; this is the land of camembert & calvados, cider and seafood!!
