9Normandy
Normandy is a region of quiet poetry and historical depth. Its windswept coastline features dramatic white cliffs at Étretat, long sandy beaches, and picturesque fishing villages.Â
The countryside is lush and pastoral, dotted with apple orchards and half-timbered houses. Mont-Saint-Michel, rising from tidal flats like a mirage, is one of France’s most awe-inspiring sights. Normandy’s soft light and tranquil landscapes have inspired artists for centuries—and continue to enchant visitors today.
