La Normandie

From D-Day Beaches to Apple Orchards

​

​

Walk the D-Day beaches and feel the echoes of pivotal moments in history, visit Mont-Saint-Michel rising dramatically from the tidal flats, or explore the medieval streets of Bayeux with its famous tapestry. The charming village of Giverny where Claude Monet’s house and gardens inspired his iconic water lily paintings are also in Normandy.

 

Yet beyond these iconic sites, Normandy charms with rolling pastures, quaint seaside towns, and apple orchards that produce some of the country’s finest cider and calvados.

​

The region is also a delight for the senses. Sample creamy Camembert, fresh seafood from the coast, or sip a glass of locally produced cider while watching the sun set over the Normandy countryside. 

​

Normandy is well connected to Paris: roughly 2 hours by train to Rouen, 3 hours to Caen, or about 4–5 hours by car, with flights available from Paris to regional airports such as Deauville or Caen for faster access.
