With more than 600 kilometers of coasts, Normandy offers a varied and characterful coastline, from the huge pale limestone walls of the Alabaster Coast and their large stretches of shingles to the Calvados long sandy beaches, passing through landscapes reminiscent of the Irish coast of the Manche area.

The famous Normandy seaside resorts (Deauville, Trouville, Le Havre, Etretat, etc.) share these shores with small picturesque fishing harbors which reveal the deep maritime culture of a land and a people by tradition open to the sea.

Apple trees, manor houses, half-timbered houses and "bocages" (farmland criss-crossed by hedges and trees)... Normandy is this - and much more!

From the intimacy of the Calvados undulating "bocages" and villages to the magnificent landscapes of the Boucles de la Seine Normande Regional Natural Park and the Marais Vernier, passing through completely different scenery of the Suisse Normande region, the Normandy countryside offers nature, space and authenticity to the lovers of walks and pure air.

With the wealth of a millennium of history, Normandy offers to its inhabitants and visitors a secular heritage of exceptional beauty.

The outstanding edifices of the town of a hundred steeples (Rouen), the renowned Romanesque abbeys, landmarks of the Seine Valley (abbey of Saint Wandrille, Valasse abbey, abbey of Jumièges, etc.) and the numerous castles and manor houses punctuating this peaceful landscape are only a few examples which bear witness to this prestigious historic heritage.
