Normandy has certainly played a large part in the creation of our Anglo Saxon heritage ever since the year 1066, and it is separated from Britain by only a few miles of sea, but despite these close links it is still refreshingly different in so many ways. With a wealth of unique attractions, it is a holiday destination that will entice you back time after time.

As you would expect of a region with nearly four hundred miles of shoreline, the sea and coastal areas of Normandy form a large part of its history and appeal. No one needs reminding of the legendary D-Day landing beaches of 1944, and naturally there are many original features and well presented museums that serve to remember those days and the people who took part.

A Great Choice of Resorts

There are elegant resorts and quaint fishing villages along Normandy’s coast too, many of which feature glorious sandy beaches that are absolutely perfect to relax on – perhaps after lunching on some of the superb, freshly caught seafood that is nearly always available.
