Normandy: The Once War-Torn Region of France
Why you should visit this apple-obsessed region of France.
Normandy is a history lover’s paradise. From the courageous storming of the D-Day beaches to walking in the footsteps of William the Conqueror, Normandy is not only a beautiful location but an educational one. Here is why you should visit the Normandy Region of France.
Across the water
Living in Dorset, England on the south coast of the UK, one of our favourite leisure activities is going to the beach. Many a time I stare across the water, thinking about the country directly across from my own. I have always been fond of France having visited occasionally on childhood holidays throughout the years.
France and the UK are intimately connected, more than just geographically speaking. Through our language, our countless battles and even our monarchy, France and the UK have had a complex, tumultuous relationship from the start. One that was briefly mended throughout the course of both World Wars, as we fought side-by-side with our Francophone friends against a common foe. Only to have that bond gradually eroded by modern politics and…Brexit.
