Travelling to France for a Normandy vacation is the epitome of holidays in France. Situated along the coast of the English Channel to the north of France, this region is made up of five distinct counties. Each lends their rich, varied heritage, cultural tapestry and breathtaking landscapes to make Normandy a legendary land with green valleys, meandering rivers, spectacular coasts and lush forests. Holidays in Normandy will enthral you with some of the most beautiful countryside in France, with picturesque Norman villages and unique sites.
Scenic Countryside
Your Normandy vacation would be replete with views of the stunning landscapes, from the rugged cliffs at the coast to the hills to the valleys of the interior. The artistic Romantic movement of the late 18th century drew renowned painters such as Turner to admire the fabulous landscape and produce fantastic masterpieces on canvas depicting the Normandy countryside. His contemporary, Theodore Gericault, from the town of Rouen, was equally inspired by strong emotions evoked from an awe of the forces of nature which he translated into sweeping works of incredible art.
Later artists of great stature such as Claude Monet, the founder of French impressionist painting, further enhanced the general public's appreciation of Normandy scenes with his paintings of water lilies. Monet's water lily garden in Giverny is a focal point for tourists during their holidays in Normandy. All these striking colours, unusual light and dazzling scenery are as beautiful today as they were when first painted in the 19th century. Normandy's artistic heritage is now on public display in museums throughout the world.
Golfing Haven
The charming countryside is enhanced with world class golf courses that are spread all across the region. When you're embarking on golfing holidays in France, a Normandy vacation will bring you to some of the most striking courses in the land. Combine your golf with culture as you visit the numerous Abbeys, chateaux and cathedrals where you can enjoy the brilliant artistic and architectural legacy of Normandy. You can tee off in a golf course in Rouen, famous for its 100 bell towers and as the city in which Joan of Arc was martyred. You can later sample the Normandy haute cuisine with its predilection for apples, cider, shellfish and pommeau.
While you spend your holidays in Normany, you may want to stay in gites in Normandy. These are quaint cottages that are rented out by the owners for tourists and travellers. Fully furnished and equipped with all the modern conveniences, gites offer complete privacy in a self contained and self catering establishment. You can even keep in regular contact with your friends and loved ones through broad band internet access in many facilities.
When planning your Normandy vacation, make it a point to experience authentic French hospitality, generosity and warmth in villages and towns that dot the countryside. Your holidays in France will be filled with exquisite memories of the tranquil yet awe inspiring natural beauty of Normandy. Relax in premier gites in Normandy at Le Manoir Nezemet.
