Normandy, this legendary region in the North of France, has always attracted a plethora of visitors from all walks of life: the aristocracy, the Bourgeoisie, artists as well as simple workers have visited for centuries and enjoyed the wild, rugged beaches, windswept landscapes, small, picturesque harbour towns such as Cabourg or Honfleur, impressive castles or manors and beautiful nature reserves that make up the charm of the area. You too can enjoy a varied history spanning from William the Conqueror to the D-Day Landings at the end of WW2, and visit places that have inspired numerous artists over the centuries, such as Le Havre, where Claude Monet painted “Impression Soleil Levant”, the famous painting that gave its name to Impressionism.
