Now fully redesigned, this new edition contains the most up-to-the-minute practical information and listings, along with color photographs and maps. With detailed and fascinating insight into the region’s culture, including its glittering contribution of Monet, Corneille and Gide, and history, Cadogan proves to be an engaging and informative companion. From the magical otherworldly Mont-St-Michel to the moving beaches of the D-Day landings; the coastal glamour of Honfleur and Deauville to the breathtaking workmanship of the Bayeux Tapestry, Normandy is a rich and complex landscape. Lush with orchards and horse meadows, it is home to a fair proportion of France’s superlative sights including Monet’s garden at Giverny and the stunning modern bridges over the Seine estuary. Cadogan offers fresh insight to these well-known destinations and then recommends the best places to try Normandy’s fine cuisine: its famous cheeses, Isigny butter and excellent seafood, all washed down with a slug of France’s most densely flavored brandy, the famous Calvados.
