More about Brittany and Normandy
Vibrant cities, golden sand, picturesque towns, lush countryside, and historic sites provide the regions of Brittany and Normandy with plenty of opportunities for relaxation and exploration. Indulge in local cheese and seafood -why not some oysters on the beach-, admire the art at Monet’s Gardens in Giverny, and go back in time with a trip to the D-Day landings beaches or the city of Bayeux.
Saint-Malo
A historic French port in Brittany, Saint-Malo is renowned for its walled city and storied past of piracy. It was also one of France’s leading port for voyages of discovery to the New World.
Easily reached from the UK by ferry, the city boasts golden beaches along tall ramparts.
Although heavily bombed during World War II, the rebuilding of old Saint Malo was one of the great heritage restoration projects in the aftermath of the war. We cannot see how the town was at that time but the new buildings kept the same style.
The American Cemetery
The American Cemetery and Memorial, located in Colleville-sur-Mer, France, is a solemn tribute to the American troops who lost their lives in Europe during World War II, especially during the D-Day landings and subsequent operations.
The memorial has some central features you can discover with expert-led battlefield tours, where you can learn more about the tumultuous events, strategies and stories of Wars.
Mont Saint-Michel
Standing about one kilometer off the coast, Mont Saint-Michel is a stunning tidal island and commune in Normandy.
The island is known for its iconic 8th-century abbey, which is a testament to medieval architecture with military and religious significance. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it attracts millions of visitors each year.
Bayeux
Renowned for its historical and cultural significance, Bayeux is an ideal starting point for exploring the D-Day landing beaches.
Lovers of history will also marvel at the Bayeux Tapestry, depicting the events leading up to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066.
A visit to the Cathedral is another must. This gem of Romanesque and Gothic architecture dates back to the 11th century and stands as a testament to the city’s rich heritage.
Giverny
Get inspired with a visit to Giverny. Explore the gardens where Claude Monet painted his famous masterpieces and step into the house where the Impressionist artist lived and created.
The village itself is also charming with quaint galleries, teashops, and the Impressionist Museum.
