Normandy Guide
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.
Basse Normandie
Apple orchards, cider-houses, little fishing ports and backcountry villages - all are timeless favourites that together give you a snapshot of life in NormandyMore about Basse Normandie
Haute Normandie
Beautiful port cities such as Dieppe, Fécamp or Le Tréport are remarkably easygoing areas, while in contrast Le Havre is a bustling metropolisMore about Haute Normandie
