Normandy pleasures the senses and stimulates the mind, making you feel relaxed and refreshed after a perfect break.
Normandy is a perfect blend of coastal and inland culture with five rich and varied counties which offer each visitor something unique. :
Mont St Michel, a UNESCO World Heritage site
The region’s location in the Northwest of France offers three completely distinct coasts, from the spectacular Mont St Michel up through La Manche county, across the Calvados and all the way to authentic Le Tréport in the beautiful Seine- Maritime.
The sea provides a fascinating landscape along 600 km of coastline, sculpting the cliffs into natural works of art. Inland, visitors will discover a haven of tranquility; acres of lush forests and green valleys in the rich countryside of the Orne county and traditional Norman villages still boasting original half-timbered houses along the Seine in Eure.
Normandy is rich in heritage and culture with plenty of listed Sites and Monuments as well as world renowned museums. What’s more, the region can offer unbeatable luxury with its many 3 and 4 star hotels, magnificent spas and, of course, exquisite gastronomy.
