Lower Normandy is one of the French regions deeply marked by history.
Follow in the footsteps of William the Conqueror, from his castle in the village of Falaise to the medieval town of Caen. Between the ramparts of the castle of Caen, you can enjoy a spectacular panorama of this city that is nicknamed "the city of a hundred spiers".
When visiting Lower Normandy, you cannot miss the famous Mont Saint-Michel. This citadel isolated from the earth by an arm of the sea is only accessible at low tide. It houses a monumental abbey as well as numerous museums. It's an excellent idea for a family day out.
You can also go to Honfleur, a fishing village that seems frozen in time. Walking through its streets, you will discover many galleries of artists while enjoying the tranquility.
Lower Normandy is also home to vast sandy beaches. You can follow in the footsteps of the American soldiers of the Allied landing and learn more about this dark period in the History of France.
Do not miss the local gastronomy, and do not hesitate to take advantage of the markets to taste the products of local farmers. Between cider and calvados, it's hard not to fall in love with this region!
