Normandy

Normandy, a region of northern France, is filled with an important historical heritage. It is a charming region with varied coastline including white-chalk cliffs and WWII beachheads, as well as Omaha Beach, site of the famous D-Day landing. Just off the coast, the rocky island of Mont-Saint-Michel is topped by a soaring Gothic abbey.

For a very long time, disputed between France and England, NOrmandy hosted many medieval towns and one of the most iconic landmarks in France: The Mont Saint-Michel.

It is not only rural but also a seaside area that is famous for producing excellent cheeses, apple cider, and seafood, such as sea-scallop and herring. The quality of the cuisine of Normandy makes it a must-visit area if you’re into gourmet.
