Eternally restful and delightfully rural, nowhere could be more relaxing or tranquil than these delightful northern regions of France. Normandy is a very rural and peaceful region with half-timbered farmhouses, venerable churches and rolling countryside. Fashionable resorts have sprung up along the coast between tiny fishing villages such as Honfleur, and yachting marinas, tucked into sheltered inlets. The coastline of towering cliffs and beaches are famous for the D-Day landings, and many fascinating historical buildings, castles and monuments.
Neighbouring Picardy is a region of lush wooded valleys and fertile plains with a beautiful coastline. In the north, near Calais, the white cliffs of Cap Gris Nez lead down to the sandy bays of Wissant and Wimereux. Inland there are many ancient woodlands and historic towns, castles and famous battlefields such as Agincourt.
