 Normandy
Towns
Normandy boasts some splendid towns, many
characterised by traditional Norman architecture with its distinctive
wooden beams offset against whitewashed walls and known locally as 'colombage'.
A typical example of this is the village of
Beuvron-en-Auge,
just one of many such villages on the well signposted 'Route du Cidre'.
Sit here, or indeed in any of the lovely Norman towns and people
watch outside a pavement café. Surprisingly, given the regions recent
history in the latter years of WWII, many of Normandy's towns remain
intact, particularly true of
Bayeux, a
town that is well worth visiting. Along the coast a few gems can
be found, including
Honfleur
with one of the most photogenic harbour
bassins in all France. |

Our Recommendations: Along the seafront
there are a choice of restaurants/cafés all of which do variations on a
theme of Moules/Frites. Back from the front there is also a restaurant
that also has pizza on the menu for non fish eaters. Don’t miss a walk up either of the cliffs.
