Normandie's Absolute Essentials

Normandy's heritage spans from the medieval island commune of Mont-Saint-Michel to the 11th-century Bayeux Tapestry and Gothic cathedral. The region is defined by its World War II significance, featuring the five D-Day landing beaches—Omaha, Utah, Gold, Juno, and Sword—alongside the Normandy American Cemetery and the Caen Memorial. Architectural highlights include William the Conqueror’s Men’s Abbey in Caen, while the Cité de la Mer in Cherbourg explores maritime history within a former Art Deco transatlantic station.
