The Normandy / Calvados region
The Pays d'Auge is an area of lush pastureland, valleys and apple orchards, where some of the best cider and finest calvados brandy is made and you can visit many of the farms to taste and buy direct. Villages that capture the essence of Normandy; Cormeilles, Beaumont-en-Auge, Beuvron-en-Auge, Blangy-le-Château are also worth a detour.
You always eat well here and the menus are varied and generous, so there is something to suit all tastes and pockets. There are numerous restaurants to choose from, including several Michelin starred ones and some excellent seafood restaurants along the coast. Dairy cattle provide rich milk for a galaxy of cheeses like Pont l'Evêque, Livarot and Camembert and cream and cider as well as calvados are used in many dishes.
Honfleur area
Normandy is great horse country and for anyone who likes riding there are a number of stables to choose from, who organise treks through the forests or on the beach in Deauville. The beach at Trouville caters well for families and there are others along the coast, which have water sports facilities. The lake at Pont l'Evêque has boats and canoes and there is a Go-kart track. Both Deauville and Trouville have golf courses.
Deauville has always been fashionable and there are shops to match. Events through the year include a Film Festival in September, a Music Festival at Easter and a succession of tennis, golf, bridge and polo tournaments.

In the 19th century it attracted many painters, poets and musicians like Sisley, Pisarro and Monet, Baudelaire and Saté and even today, you can walk along the quays and find artists at work.
