48 hours in Caen
In the Calvados region, the city of William the Conqueror and Matilda of Flanders has a country-by-the-sea feel. Between the Orne and Manche rivers, Caen offers a lovely escape through its medieval streets, Renaissance heritage and post-war buildings. With its resolutely student spirit, Caen is preparing to celebrate its millennium in 2025.

48 hours in the Pays d'Auge
Japan reveres the sakura, the cherry blossom tree that is a veritable emblem that inspires gastronomy, both in recipes and in the presentation of dishes. Normandy has its apple trees and, as at the foot of Mount Fuji, offers a magnificent spectacle in spring. The ideal postcard is set in the heart of the Pays d'Auge: meadows flooded with white light, blue skies drenched in floral fireworks, green grass, white-and-brown Normandy cows grazing in bliss...2023

48 hours in Le Havre
François I, Claude Monet, Raoul Dufy, André Malraux, Auguste Perret, Oscar Niemeyer... Le Havre's history is one of astonishing name-dropping. Destroyed by bombs and rebuilt in a modernity that has given it unity and identity, the city has shaken off its grey port image to draw attention to its colorful houses, gardens and museums. A revival worth discovering.

48 hours in the Pays d'Ouche
A magnificent forest, wide open fields, green hills as only Normandy can offer... Between the valleys of the Iton and Risle rivers, the Pays d'Ouche harbors as much rural ruggedness as it does prodigious nature, with its share of foliage and shade, springs, frog ponds and gentle paths.2022

1 day at Évreux
The former capital of the Aulerques Eburovices became the prefecture of the Eure. Evangelized in the 1st century by Saint Taurin, it became a major commercial crossroads, thanks to the Iton River which flows through it. It was then made a county by the Dukes of Normandy, turned to the cloth industry and prospered. For the visitor, today it's a town of reconstruction, the main pre-war districts having been destroyed by bombing. With a large surface area - Évreux is larger than its neighbors Rouen and Caen - it boasts many green spaces.

48 hours in Cotentin
It's an island. Well, almost. An arm of land surrounded by water that you don't cross at random on a trip, but only reach after having made the right decision. The Cotentin is a secret shared by insiders, off the beaten track. And if the region still suffers from a bad reputation - that of ever-open umbrellas - so much the better, it's a delight for those seeking a little retreat from the world.
156 km
48 hours in the Perche
Between Paris and Brittany, the Perche. The name comes from a vast forest of our ancestors, the silva Pertica. Although its geographical identity, mainly rural, is well-defined, this former province actually extends over four départements and three regions. Eure-et-Loir and Loir-et-Cher - with Vendômois - both in the Centre-Val de Loire region, Orne in Normandy, and Sarthe in Pays de la Loire.Our partners
