Lower Normandy, deeply marked by the Second World War, invites you to a real military pilgrimage, especially during the Normandy D-Day Festival, with a visit to the Omaha Beach Memorial Museum.
Upper Normandy is instead the land of the Impressionists with Claude Monet where we recommend a visit to the Impressionists Museum, the Claude Monet Foundation and the Notre-Dame Cathedral of Rouen where the great painter painted about thirty paintings.

On the coasts of La Manche, the delicious Coquilles Saint-Jacques, oysters from Cotentin are caught from the sea.
In Dieppe you absolutely must taste the freshly caught and fried herring on the barbecue during the Fête du Hareng, the herring festival.
The crème – the cream – is the sauce par excellence of the Norman dishes, from escalope, the Norman escalope to the fried Norman mussels.
And now with the rural flavors: the Andouillette, the typical sausage from Vire, the Normandy butter, the cheeses of the Pays d’Auge (Camembert, Pont-l’Evêque or Neufchâtel), the tripe from Caen…
The overflowing orchards of apples give birth to other delicious proposals, from the Norman cake to cider and Calvados, secret of the famous Trou Normand rite (a glass of calvados to be thrown down in one breath during an important lunch, to help digestion) in different recipes.
For dessert, try the teurgoule, made with rice and cinnamon, and stop at the Chocolatrium or Normandie Caramels.
