The Suisse Normande is an attractive area
of hills, rivers and wooded valleys. It offers a wide range of
outdoor activities for the energetic, including walking, cycling
and canoeing. There are also a number of excellent golf courses
available locally, as well as many interesting chateaux and gardens
to visit.
It is also an ideal base for exploring the Normandy coast
and its diverse attractions. Visit the D-day landing beaches – Utah,
Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword.
See the Bayeux tapestry – the story
of a very different Norman invasion. Enjoy the more sophisticated
pleasures that Deauville and Honfleur can offer. |

For those who wish to explore further afield,
the excellent French autoroutes make this eminently
possible. Monet’s
garden, the mediæval city of Rouen and Mont St
Michel can all be visited in a day. The horse
racing at Deauville during August is a revelation.
The quality of racing is high, the on course facilities are first
class, and the entry fee to everywhere on the course is less than €10.
Or
just soak up the atmosphere of one of the many local markets that
take place daily. |
