Located in the northwest corner of France, Normandy entices and surprises even the most seasoned of travellers with its rustic splendour, rich history and culinary delights; there is truly something for everyone. 
For the food aficionado, bite into a creamy piece of Camembert direct from the farm, savour the sweetness of locally grown apples in a glass of Calvados brandy or simply take in the nautical charms of the region with a plate of fresh oysters. For the history enthusiast, walk along the pebbly beaches, beneath soaring cliffs, to see where the D-Day landings took place; admire the Bayeux tapestry depicting the Norman invasion; or explore the fortified island monastery of Mont-Saint-Michel. For the culture connoisseur, experience the pastoral landscapes of a Monet painting, the lush, rolling valleys dotted with farms and medieval châteaux, or rediscover the glamour of seaside resorts in the coastal town of Deauville. Catering to all tastes, a visit to Normandy—where culture, history and gastronomic indulgences come together—is guaranteed to unleash your inner bon vivant.
