Top 10 attractions in The Normandy with Irro Charter

Normandy is a region in northern France. White limestone cliffs and important bridgeheads from World War II which lie on the varied coastline - such as Omaha Beach, the scene of the Allied landings on D-Day. Immediately in front of the coast is the rocky island of Mont-Saint-Michel, on the top of which is enthroned the Gothic abbey of the same name. The Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Rouen is characteristic of the cityscape of Rouen. In 1431 the military leader and Catholic saint Joan of Arc was burned here. Visiting Normandy's sights helps you to see sights that were initially seen as a child. This can be seen at Mont-Saint-Michel, Bayeaux Tapestry, or anywhere in the works of Claude Monet, such as the cliffs at Étretat, harbour at Honfleur, and artist's own gardens. The impressionist movement was born in Normandy, and this place was also famously a major site of one of the most pivotal battles in the Second World War.

Irro Charter team would like to share with you some of the very best things to do whilst visiting Normandy:

Normandy

1. Étretat Cliffs

   Étretat is a small town in the middle of a stunning coastline in the west of France. Both sides of the town and its pebble beach have massive limestone cliffs with giant arches and peaks and a total height of almost 55 metres.

2. Mont-Saint-Michel

   One of the world's prominent sights, Mont-Saint-Michel is a tidal island in the estuary of the Couesnon River where Normandy and Brittany meet. The island has very steep slopes and the magnificent gothic and Norman chapels were built during the middle Ages. Mont-Saint-Michel was very important to the war effort and its ability to fend off attacks.

3. Honfleur

   Another of the inspiring artworks that made the impressionists is the old port on the coast of the region of Calvados, just on the other side of the river Seine. The view from the edge of the Quai Saint-Etienne is heart-achingly pretty, looking across to the narrow stone-faced slate-clad dwellings behind the masts of moored sailboats.

4. Tapisserie de Bayeaux

   The Famous Bayeux Tapestry is regarded as one of the greatest works of medieval arts. It can be seen in front of the museum at Bayeaux. An audio-guide provides information about everything on site as you move around the museum. It is not scripted and a short film displays the history of the exhibition at the back.

5. Claude Monet’s House and Gardens

   Monet lived in this beautiful house in Giverny, France until his death in 1926. It has now become a museum, including the artists' home and studio, seemingly as though the artist were alive. The kitchen, living room, sitting room, bedroom, and dining room of the great artist gives an eerie feeling. Some lovers of Monet's art will be blessed with seeing the grounds of Giverny, where his familiar sunflowers, wisteria, the Japanese footbridge and the water lily pond can be clearly discerned from his classic works.

Normandy

1. Tatihou Island

   The island of Tatihou is situated opposite Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue. You can walk over the oyster beds at low tide in order to get there and with an amphibious craft to ‘fly’ back during the high tide. This Island is a testimony to wars endured by Britain and Holland from their happenings before to their present day. Tatihou Island is peaceful place to visit with a lighthouse, maritime museum, botanical garden and sea fort.

2. Notre-Dame de Rouen

   This solemn church is unique in Europe because its 13th-century Episcopal palace is still an integral part of the organisation. This is a beautiful example of the 11th century gothic style that was painted by Claude Monet. When renovated in the 19th century, the cross was the world's tallest structure. There are many ancient relics, including the tomb of a Viking chieftain who became the first ruler of the duchy of Normandy and a tomb holding the heart of the legendary Lionheart.

3. Old Rouen

   The historic centre of Rouen is very decorative as it has around 2,000 beautiful half-timbered homes. Up to the 1500s, this was perceived to be dangerous and something which should be demolished. You will be wise to explore the Gothic architecture including old churches and bridges.

4. Le Havre

   Although some bomb-damaged cities elected to rebuild their old architecture after the World War, Le Havre embraced the possibilities of concrete building. This renovation has gained the centre of Paris UNESCO status. If you admire Modern Architecture, you'll find this amazing.

5. Fromagerie Graindorge

   Plenty of French delicacies are originated from Normandy, including camembert cheese and Livarot cheese. At the Fromagerie Graindorge, you can partake in a free tour where you can see how cheeses are made. These cheeses include Neufchâtel, Livarot, Pont l'Evêque and Camembert.
