Normandy
On one side, a coastline known for its expansive beaches, on the other lush farmlands and a bucolic countryside scenery to take your breath away. Normandy is a region boasting natural beauty and a strong historical imprint hard to forget. During World War II, this location played a key role in the Allied forces’ invasion of mainland Europe. This culminated in the D-Day landings of 1944. Therefore, the beaches and sites of this historical day are now one of Normandy’s most popular attractions, alongside the incomparable island monastery of Mont St-Michel. In between the tapestry of the green rolling hills, plains, and cliff-edged shoreline radiates the metropolitan excitement of Rouen, the region’s most prominent city. Here, the magic of medieval architecture punctuates the streets with sumptuous churches, fascinating museums and quaint half-timbered houses that immediately transport you back to the past. Aside from its engrossing historical heritage, Normandy equally shows off a delectable gastronomical tradition marked by the delicious seafood sourced in the English Channel and the cider from locally produced apples.
