Campsites in Normandy

More on Camping in Normandy...

Normandy has a rich landscape full of variety. Its superb coastline includes the Cotentin Peninsula, the cliffs of the Côte d’Albâtre and the fine beaches and fashionable resorts of the Côte Fleurie, while inland is a wealth of quiet villages and unspoilt countryside for leisurely exploration. Known as the dairy of France, its markets are abundant with fresh fish, rich cream, butter, and fine cheeses such as Camembert and Pont l’Evêque. The many apple orchards are used in producing cider and the well known Calvados, the region’s apple brandy.

The history of Normandy is closely linked with our own. The famous Bayeux Tapestry chronicles the exploits of the Battle of Hastings and there are many museums, exhibitions, sites and monuments, including the Caen Memorial Museum, which commemorate operations that took place during the D-Day Landings of 1944.
