NORMANDY
This region rich in history will forever be linked to the 1944 D-day invasion and William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy & King of England.
The fashionable sea side resorts of Deauville and Trouville were favorites of Impressionist painters and Parisians since the 19th century.
Art and architecture lovers will be thrilled with great attractions such as the Rouen cathedral, medieval Bayeux.
And of course, it is the land of Camembert & Pont l’Evêque cheese and Calvados apple brandy.
