Camping in Normandy
As early as the 19th century, Normandy was already a popular tourist destination, with new seaside resorts being developed along its coast. Today, the region remains a favourite holiday spot, offering a long stretch of coastline with beaches from north to south and a wide range of campsites to choose from. Whether you prefer staying by the sea, at a castle campsite, or on a farm campsite, there's something for everyone. You could also opt for a nature campsite or one with a swimming pool. Planning to camp with your dog, or would you rather experience the luxury of glamping? Searching for a small campsite? The possibilities are endless!
Sights to See in Normandy
There is plenty to discover in this region. Here are some highlights:
The D-Day Landing Beaches
On 6 June 1944, Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy, marking the beginning of the end of World War II. Several of these historic beaches can be visited today.
Mont-Saint-Michel
This rocky island, home to a medieval abbey, was once accessible only at low tide and surrounded by water at high tide. Today, a narrow bridge connects it to the mainland, and only pedestrians are allowed on the island.
The Bayeux Tapestry
This 11th-century embroidery is 70 metres long and 50 centimetres high, depicting the Battle of Hastings in 1066, when England was conquered by William the Conqueror. The tapestry was likely created in 1068 and, with only brief interruptions, has remained in Bayeux ever since.
The Garden at Claude Monet’s House
The famous Impressionist painter lived in Giverny, where you can visit his beautiful garden.
The Charm of Normandy
This region has everything for lovers of beach holidays, and the local cuisine is sure to delight. Normandy is well-known for its cheeses, such as Camembert and Livarot, as well as apples, which are used to make regional drinks like Calvados and cider. The Norman dialect is still spoken by a small part of the population.
