Holiday cottages Normandy - wonderful Normandy holidays
Home to renowned impressionist painter Claude Monet, Normandy exudes the pastel brilliance of France, and is rich with cultural attractions, many of which were subjects for Monet’s paintings. For a culture and art holiday, the region can provide cosy Normandy holiday cottages to rent, and self catering Normandy holiday homes. The Rouen Cathedral hearkens back to the riches of Rouen, one of Europe’s most bustling, wealthy centres during the Middle Ages. The cathedral’s baroque opulence underscores that exquisiteness, and if you have time during your Normandy holidays you should follow the twisting, turning cobblestone streets to the Saint-Quen Abbey, yet another example of the inspired architectural brilliance bestowed upon this city. Caen is another fascinating remnant of Medieval France, whose old city just can’t be missed on your holiday itinery. One of the foremost sites to see in Caen is the Saint-Étienne. Stand under the Romanesque arches and breathe in centuries of mystery. Stay away from your holiday villa Normandy long enough for the mass; the local choir is absolutely marvellous.
Surrounding Normandy, there are as well other great places you can visit in your holidays:
- Get to know the beautiful Picardie and its historical sites and leisure activites.
- Visit the neighbouring Brittany and its fascinating culture.
- Get even closer to Britain in Nord Pas de Calais.
