Normandy

page pix Named for the “Northmen” Viking conquerors of long ago, Normandy includes a large portion of northeastern France. It is an area rich in history, from its most famous sight, le Mont Saint Michel, to the landing beaches of World War II. Abbeys and chateaux dot the countryside, an architectural heritage which also illustrates the historic and artistic wealth of the region. The Bayeux tapestry and le Mont Saint Michel are only two of the treasures to be found in Normandy.
Inland Normandy is green and rural, with villages of half-timbered houses, orchards and fertile farmland. The coast includes the chalk cliffs of the Alabaster Coast, the famous beach resorts of Deauville and Trouville, and the historic landing beaches of 1944. Farther east, the Cotentin peninsula, jutting into the sea, has its own savage beauty.
