Normandy History

Bayeux Tapestry

This 1,000 year old tapestry is an embroidery, 70 metres long, celebrating the conquest of England by William, Duke of Normandy or as he is more commonly known, William the Conqueror. Listed as a UNESCO “Memory of the World”, it is housed in the Musee de la Tapisserie de Bayeux, open daily, and is a must see.

D-Day Landing beaches from Domaine de Litteau

The D-Day landing beaches in Normandy attract visitors for their history, which is tied to the fighting that occurred between Allied forces and Germans during World World II. Fascinating remains still litter the landscape with memorials, German bunkers and gun batteries. Today you can enjoy these beautiful beaches during a quiet stroll, and immerse yourself into its history with a guide on-site.

British War Cemetery / Bayeux War Cemetery

This site is a cemetery dedicated to the United Kingdom in recognition of the British sacrifices made during the two world wars. A lasting tribute to all those who fought, this provides visitors with a peaceful place of remembrance in pretty, tranquil surroundings.

Château de Falaise - Calvados

This historic castle dominates the Calvados landscape as the former home of William the Conqueror. Immerse yourself into the story behind this colossal castle through film projections, which take you back to the 12th and 13th centuries.

Normandy Culture

Honfleur

When we think of Honfleur the first thing that comes to mind is its picturesque port. This town has been an endless muse for famous French artists such as Claude Monet, and it's hardly surprising, as it looks like an impressionistic dream with colourful facades and glittering water. What’s interesting is that its roots that go back to English history, when the French king fortified this spot to try and prevent an Anglo Saxon invasion during the Hundred Years War. Check out the maritime museum, where you’ll discover the town’s fascinating history of explorers, and Naturospace, where you can see beautiful fluttering butterflies in the largest house of its kind in France.

Mont Saint Michel

This holy abbey mount is one of the most famous sights in the whole of Normandy, and a real island of magic that will enchant all the family. Here, it is in this jaw-dropping location where vast numbers of pilgrims flocked to stay, and it was also a strategic site to keep away English forces. It really is a little town unto itself, with houses, shops, restaurants and museums encircling the abbey.

Bayeux Cathedral

The Notre Dame Cathedral in Bayeux is an ancient and imposing architectural moment, renowned as the original home of the Bayeux Tapestry. This cathedral has bags of rich cultural history, as it was consecrated in 1077 by William, Duke of Normandy and is the site where Harold Godwinson swore an oath and subsequently broke it, leading to the Norman conquest of England. You’ll be absolutely spellbound by the medieval murals and underground crypt here.

Food and drink

Normandy is France’s land of milk, cream and cheese: discover the true taste of Camembert! If you’re feeling brave, try andouillette – a tripe sausage that’s not for the faint-hearted. Easier on the palate, the region’s bountiful orchards produce sweet apples for juices, cider and the finest of tarts. Or regional tipples such as Calvados, an apple ‘brandy’, and Pommeau, an enticing cider-Calvados mix. Port-en-Bessin is a pretty fishing port – try lunching on the freshest of seafood – delicate Coquille St. Jacques (scallops) are a particular favourite and specialty of the region.

Normandy-Nature

Suisse Normande

Further inland, the area south of Caen that locals call ‘la Suisse Normande’ has rolling hills along the River Orne. Whether you’re a fan of hill walking, fly-fishing or in need of buckets of fresh air, our holiday park in Normandy is the place for you to get in touch with nature!

Beaches

Grandcamp, Omaha and Arromanches are synonymous with the D-Day landing sites, and to visit them is informative, poignant and thought-provoking in equal measure. And yet these are definitely must-see places in their own right with sandy Norman beaches just right for a spot of paddling and some sandcastle building. You can also get adventurous with thrilling water sports: from sand yachting to kite surfing the region’s long, glorious coastline offers it all. This panoramic cinema, perched on the Arromanches clifftops, will provide you with the chance to experience the Battle of Normandy as if you were really there through archival images. It’s another moving, pedagogic reminder for all visitors of the area’s historical significance and its impact on the world.

Zoos and Aquariums

If you're looking for a more exotic day out, Normandy has many family friendly options. Alligator Bay in Beauvoir lets you meet and greet tortoises, snakes, alligators and crocodiles. If you're looking for an aquarium, you'll find one at la Cité de la Mer in Cherbourg alongside exhibitions on the Titanic, the second world war and a virtual underwater experience. A great place to make a stop on the way to or from the ferry port.
