The five departments or regions of Normandy are a diverse mix of landscape, colour, architecture, and history, each one offering an interesting visit and yielding a wealth of entertainment and pleasure.

Golden beaches transform to marshlands with swaying seas of reeds, which again melt away into meadows and pastures and wooded forest groves. Shady dells lead onto rocky ridges their valleys filled with the sound of rushing water.

Eure, Calvados, Manche, Orne, or Seine-Maritime, discover what each department has to offer, including a selection of towns, accommodation, attractions and maps that will help you create your perfect Normandy adventure. You can either click on the departments on the menu on the left or click on a coloured icon on the map above.
