The beautiful beaches of Normandy...

Looking for a beach holiday without sacrificing a bit of history and culture? Don't worry, in Normandy you will find everything you are looking for. The north-west of the region is characterized by beautiful sandy coastline, the north-east by towering cliffs interspersed with pebble beaches. For culture and history? Le Mont Saint Michel is a peninsula, accessible only by foot, full of architectural gems to be discovered, such as the medieval abbey. Here you can also observe the highest tides in Europe.

Are you curious to see the beaches which were the scene of the famous Normandy landings? Or visit the port cities of Rouen, Le Havre and Cherbourg? In Rouen, one of the main ports of France, you can walk along the old town's main street, the Rue du Gros-Horloge, featuring an astronomical clock with two dials. Also worth a visit is Le Havre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, birthplace of Impressionism, cruise port and seaside resort. Don't miss Cherbourg-Octeville, a popular venue for events with large sailing boats.
