NORMANDY
Ever since the armies of William the Conqueror set sail from its shores in 1066,
Normandy has played a pivotal role in European history, from the Norman invasion
of England to the Hundred Years War and the D-Day beach landings of 1944. This
rich and often brutal past is what draws travellers to the region today, though the
pastoral landscapes, small fishing ports, dramatic coastline and waistline-expanding
cuisine are all equally good reasons to include this accessible and beautiful chunk
of France in any trip.
