Impressionists came to Normandy for the light
Claude Monet was here, Camille Pissarro, Auguste Renoir: they all came for the special light that constantly restages the sky and sea. Today, their works can be seen in the many art museums in Normandy. The motifs from back then have lost none of their charm: the white chalk cliffs of Étretat, the fashionable seaside resorts, the floodplain landscapes criss-crossed by rivers, the romantic villages with their typical half-timbered houses, the lively port city of Le Havre (Unesco World Heritage Site since 2005).
A paradise for culinary fans
Along the way, charming markets, cider farms and small oyster bars invite you to enjoy. There are two culinary routes here, plus four AOP-protected cheeses. Camembert, cider and co. are produced on rustic farms scattered across the green hilly landscape. In some places you can spend the night with your camper right next to the apple trees. The infrastructure for round trip travelers is well developed, and there is no shortage of idyllic vacation homes and special accommodation (from a night in a lighthouse to a Sissi castle).
