NCOMPASSING THE WHOLE OF THE
DÉPARTEMENT
OF CALVADOS
and
much of Eure, this region is the true heart of Normandy. From the earthly
pleasures of Deauville to the heavenly aspirations of Ste-Thérèse's Lisieux,
from the rural idyll of the Pays d'Auge to the architectural magnificence of
the Château de Beaumesnil, from the Bayeux Tapestry to the Impressionist
paintings inspired by the enchanting seaport of Honfleur, central Normandy is
brimming with variety and interest. William the Conqueror - born in Falaise,
buried in Caen - dominates the region's history, as do the events of D-Day,
6 June 1944, and the subsequent Battle of Normandy, played out on its wide,
sandy beaches and in its attractive, historic and now carefully restored towns.
