Normandy
Lush rolling pastures, cows grazing among the orchards... Normandy almost shouts ‘slow down’ at the visitor – if it was ever to shout anything. Despite an annual tourist invasion every year the region remains largely untouched - an unspoilt paradise.
Haute Normandie is easy to reach from its ports Le Hâvre and Dieppe although, thanks to the improved motorway network, Rouen is only a little over two hours from Calais.
Arriving in Basse Normandie across the mammoth Pont de Normandie, the road leads straight to the painters’ paradise Honfleur with its picture book harbour. Along the coast, Deauville still attracts the Paris crowds. Ferries from the UK sail to Caen-Ouistreham and Cherbourg making it easy to head south to the jewel of Mont St Michel.
