Cathédrale Saint-Pierre de Lisieux (Lisieux Cathedral)
An awe-inspiring building off the obvious trail that testifies to Normandy's important medieval role. Secluded serenity of the spiritual nature or otherwise.
Normandy looms large in the history of Europe, from changing the face of England forever or its place in the momentous events of the WWII D‑Day landings to being the full stop at the end of the legendary story of Joan of Arc. And the region has numerous fascinating sites that testify to this history both ancient and modern. But these significant six should not be missed.
Église Saint-Jeanne d’Arc (Church of St Joan of Arc)
A unique modern building where you can find much meaning in the legend of the "Maid of Orleans" whether historical, spiritual or architectural.
Château de Fontaine-Henry
Delight in the well-preserved treasures of this exquisite château as the family who live there are your hosts on a guided tour.
Musée d’Art Moderne André Malraux
A museum that constantly surprises: yes, those famous Impressionist paintings reside here! Also a key post-WII building that thrills architecture buffs.
Musée du Débarquement (D-day Museum)
Not the biggest or most bombastic of the Normandy Landings museums, but all the more poignant for being the first and its sense of a human dimension to war.
Fondation Claude Monet
Discover Monet's house and garden as it was when he lived there and literally see the same views in the flesh that inhabit his most famous works.
