Culinary Delights of Normandy

Les Andelys is a commune in France, located in the Normandy region. Dominated by the imposing Château-Gaillard Castle, the small town of Les Andelys, made up of two neighbourhoods, Petit-Andely and Grand-Andely, is nestled in a meander of the Seine and occupies one of the most beautiful sites in the northern part of France. The northern character is also reflected in the architecture of the municipality. This can be seen, for example, in the 13th century Notre-Dame Cathedral. The amusement park Tolysland is popular with young and old.

Rouen, located on the banks of the River Seine, is Normandy’s vibrant, historic and cultural capital. Monet’s famous depictions of Rouen Cathedral have made it many visitors’ favourite building in the city, but there are also many fine museums to explore. In the Joan of Arc Museum, you can find an insight into her life and her tragic death in Rouen. Also worth seeing are the botanical gardens, the cathedral "Notre Dame" and the monastery "Saint-Georges de Boscherville". With excellent local produce, Normandy’s food is known for being outstanding, and well worth exploring.

Le Havre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, blends modern architecture with maritime charm. Rebuilt after WWII by architect Auguste Perret, the city features striking concrete design, a bustling port, museums, and easy access to the scenic Alabaster Coast. Just a 2-hour train ride from Paris, Le Havre offers easy access to the capital while serving as a perfect gateway to the Normandy region.

Nestled on the banks of the Seine River, midway between Paris and Rouen, Vernon is a charming Normandy town known for its half-timbered houses, scenic waterfront, and rich artistic history. A highlight is a visit to nearby Giverny, home of Claude Monet, where his iconic gardens and lily ponds come to life. Stroll the cobbled streets and enjoy the peaceful beauty of this picturesque riverside gem.

Located just outside Paris along the Seine, Poissy offers a peaceful riverside setting with charming streets and historic architecture. Visitors can explore landmarks like the Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame, stroll along the riverbanks, or enjoy local cafés while taking in the town’s serene atmosphere.

Paris is one of the most romantic destinations in the world. Over the centuries, Parisian culture has been built on the wings of inspiration. Music, film, architecture, literature, dance and the visual arts all have their brilliant place in the museums, theatres and remarkably preserved buildings. Behold Notre Dame Cathedral, shrouded in gothic splendour and folklore. Weave among priceless artworks in the sensational Louvre, and along the Champs Élysées toward the Arc de Triomphe. Then let that undisputed Parisian icon, the Eiffel Tower, leave its own vivid impression.
