Product Description
Product Description
Great ports Cherbourg and Le Havre, picturesque fishing harbours like Honfleur or Dieppe, chic resorts and long sandy beaches all resonate with memories linking Normandy to its neighbour across the Channel. Discover an astonishing artistic heritage, from the cartoon-like Tapestry in Bayeux, and Gothic masterpieces in Rouen and strange Mont St Michel, to Impressionist shrines like Monet's home beside the Seine. Normandy's rustic interior has picture-book charm, with thatched cottages, lanes and hedges, orchards and small farms. You can dine in hearty local style on tripes a la mode de Caen, succulent salt-meadow lamb, famous creme fraiche and strong cheeses, and enjoy a tot of Normandy's powerful apple brandy, Calvados. All this and more is covered in Footprint's fantasic new guide.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Normandy guide,
By Mrs. K. M. Fowler "Kathryn F" (Potterton, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Normandy (Footprint Travel Guides) (FootprintFrance) (Paperback)
This is a good guide for a brief stay in Normandy - or as we used it, if you are moving about locations (we had a night at Giverny then 2 nights at Rouen), then it highlights the pick of the crop.
If you are staying in an area for a longer period and want to explore in more depth then this probably isn't the guide you need. Notwithstanding this caveat, the guide was very useful, with sections focussed on a location and then sub sections on accommodation, food, things to do etc. All in all it was a good guide and we used it well. Would definitely recommend it for the visitor to Normandy.
