Characterized by the apple orchards, fresh cheese, rolling green landscapes and
dramatic seaside cliffs, Normandy is the region of France located to the northwest
of Paris along the coast of the English Channel. Though once part of Britain (though
it’s been firmly in French hands since the 13th century save for a few British
channel islands off the coasts), there a Norman influence remains that gives the
region a slightly different cultural feeling to other parts of France.
Normandy is an agricultural area made up of bocages – a patchwork of fields divided
by high hedges. Normandy is also where much of the country’s dairy is produced.
Cattle breeding, cider production and fishing are also important industries that help
define this lush and beautiful region of France. With temperate weather year’round
(it’s rainy and chilly in the winter and relatively sunny and mild in the summer),
Normandy is a great place to visit during almost any time of the year. From beaches
to countryside, most will not regret making the trip to this region if France.
