Normandy is a region in northern France, located along the English Channel. It is renowned for its spectacular cliffs such as those of Étretat, historic cities like Rouen and Caen, and the famous island abbey Mont-Saint-Michel (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). Normandy played a central role in World War II as the site of the Allied D-Day landings in 1944. Beyond its history, the region is also famous for its apple orchards, cider, Calvados brandy, and cheeses such as Camembert.
