Normandy

Among France’s regions, Normandy stands out for its Channel coast, fertile farmland and enduring links to medieval and modern European history. The English Channel frames a shoreline of broad beaches, cliffs and working ports, while the Seine crosses the eastern part of the region before reaching the sea near Le Havre. Rouen’s Gothic cathedral and the Bayeux Tapestry are major cultural reference points. Along the Calvados coast, the D-Day landing beaches recall the Allied landings of 1944. Normandy is also closely associated with cider, Camembert and dairy farming, traditions rooted in its green pastures.
