On the coasts of La Manche, the delicious Coquilles Saint-Jacques, oysters from Cotentin are caught from the sea.

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…
