Normandy is a region of northern France. Its varied coastline includes white-chalk cliffs and WWII beachheads, including Omaha Beach, site of the famous D-Day landing. Just off the coast, the rocky island of Mont-Saint-Michel is topped by a soaring Gothic abbey. The city of Rouen, dominated by Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Rouen, is where military leader and Catholic saint Joan of Arc was executed in 1431.
La Normandie est une région du nord de la France. Son littoral varié comprend des falaises de craie blanche et des têtes de pont de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, dont Omaha Beach, site du célèbre débarquement du jour J. Juste au large de la côte, l'île rocheuse du Mont-Saint-Michel est surmontée d'une abbaye gothique en plein essor. La ville de Rouen, dominée par la cathédrale Notre-Dame de Rouen, est l'endroit où le chef militaire et catholique sainte Jeanne d'Arc fut exécuté en 1431.
We started the Normandy trip along the central Normandy coast town of Ouistreham. It's a small fishing town and serves as the port of the city of Caen. The town borders the mouth of the Canal de Caen à la Mer. We stayed in a local home via Air BNB that was built in the mid-1800's. During WWII, several German officers took over and stayed at this home, until they were driven out by the allies.
