From Mont-Saint-Michel to Honfleur, from Cherbourg-en-Cotentin to Alençon, Lower Normandy offers an impressive diversity of landscapes and emotions. With its beaches full of history, its medieval cities, its bocage and its cultural sites, it is an ideal destination for a relaxing and exotic vacation.
Renowned for its beauty which enchanted many impressionist painters, the coast of Lower Normandy also seduces by the charm of its seaside resorts (Deauville, Honfleur, Houlgate...) and by the activities it offers. You can of course enjoy this magnificent setting by relaxing on the beach but also by practicing sailing, surfing, kite-surfing, sand yachting, paddle boarding... To exercise and have fun, the inland area is not lacking in possibilities either. For example, kayak up the beautiful rivers of Normandy; walk, ride a horse or mountain bike along the many hiking trails (Douaniers trail, Percheron manor road...); discover, with your family, the many water parks, animal parks or adventure parks that dot the region...
A land of history and culture, Basse-Normandie also invites you to discover the rich heritage of its beautiful cities. In Caen, follow in the footsteps of William the Conqueror by visiting the castle, one of the largest in Europe, and the two superb abbeys of Hommes and Dames. Enjoy also the Saint-Pierre church, built between the 12th and 16th centuries, the numerous private mansions (Escoville, Mondrainville, Than...) and the remarkable museums (Fine Arts, Normandy, Memorial). But also visit Cherbourg-en-Cotentin (Notre-Dame du Vœu abbey, Ravalets castle, Cité de la Mer), Coutances (Notre-Dame cathedral, Saint-Nicolas church), Alençon (Notre-Dame basilica, Fine Arts and Lace museum), Bayeux (Tapestry), Lisieux (Sainte-Thérèse basilica)...
During your stay in Basse-Normandie, don't miss one of the most beautiful sites in the world: the Mont-Saint-Michel. By visiting its abbey, you will be impressed by the richness of its architectural elements and by the beauty of its cloister which offers a panoramic view on the bay. Then discover other exceptional sites of Lower Normandy: its fabulous gardens and parks such as the castle of Nacqueville, those of the Pays d'Auge or those of the Petite Rochelle. Finally, take the time to taste the numerous local specialties: oysters, omelette of the Poulard mother, andouilles, tripe, black pudding, camembert, apples, caramels of Isigny...
