Northeastern Normandy
I
NLAND FROM THE DRAMATIC CÔTE D'ALBÂTRE,
with its harbours and
seaside resorts sheltering between chalky cliffs, northeastern Normandy is
dominated by the Seine, which follows a meandering course at its southern
border. An unspoilt region of forests and rivers, it embraces the
département
of Seine-Maritime and - north of the Seine and reaching to the Epte - a
slice of Eure. At the confluence of the two rivers is Giverny, the village made
famous by Monet. Seine-Maritime has a varied landscape with the lush,
sparsely populated Pays de
Bray in the northeast and,
at its heart, the limestone
plateau of the Pays de
Caux. Between the sea
and the cultured cathedral
city of Rouen, one
magnificent abbey after
another overlooks the
wooded banks of the Seine
Valley - stations on the
well-trodden Abbey Route.
