You're staying with us, so why not take the opportunity to discover Normandy! We've put together a compilation of the most beautiful places to visit.

In Normandy

Mont-Saint-Michel- A village, an abbey and a natural site blended into a harmonious unity of place, human constructions sublimely staged by nature, a scenery that evolves according to the movements of the clouds, the tides, the sun and the sand... Mont-Saint-Michel is all this at once. One of the most visited tourist sites in France, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, the Mont is a place to be fully appreciated and preserved, against all odds... Find out more

The cliffs of Étretat- Time, storms and an underground river have carved out of the chalk the most famous natural site in Normandy: immaculately white cliffs that erosion has shaped into spectacular shapes, inspiring painters and visitors alike. The site, criss-crossed by footpaths, is an ideal getaway for those in the mood for a breath of fresh air. A word of advice: avoid the spring bridges and the height of summer, when the cliffs are overcrowded. Find out more

Rouen - A port city built 120 km from the sea, Rouen is above all a city of art and history, marked by great artistic figures such as Flaubert, Monet and Corneille. Its historic centre contains many traces of a prosperity built on maritime trade and the textile industry: cathedral, Saint-Ouen abbey church, Saint-Maclou church, law courts, etc. The city, which was crowned capital of the new Normandy region, is largely pedestrianised and is also a great place to stroll, from the rue du Gros-Horloge to the place du Vieux-Marché and from the Saint-Maclou district to the quays of the Seine.

Honfleur - The first vision is a postcard image: slate houses reflected in the peaceful waters of the Vieux Bassin. But the port from which Samuel de Champlain sailed to found the city of Quebec is more than that. At once Norman and Parisian, and increasingly frequented by its Belgian and British neighbours, Honfleur manages to remain traditional while remaining firmly in its time. The town is just as popular with tourists at weekends and during the summer months as it is quiet on weekdays out of season. Find out more
