Normandie

Normandy, once the land of the Normans and Vikings, is primarily shaped by the sea. Names like Alabaster Coast, Pearl Coast, and Flower Coast promise a unique coastal landscape. The Rother Hiking Guide to Normandy presents 50 selected hikes along beautiful sandy beaches and rugged cliffs, as well as through idyllic meadows and marshlands. Those traveling to Normandy will find excellent conditions for hiking tours: sandy beaches, dunes, and salt marshes alternate with wild romantic cliffs, bright white chalk cliffs, and small rocky coves. Characteristic of the interior are the numerous marsh areas—a true paradise for ornithology enthusiasts—fruit orchards, pastures, and deciduous forests. The so-called Norman Switzerland exerts its own unique charm, featuring a hilly landscape reminiscent of the Alps.
