Benefiting from a very rich historical heritage that attracts many history enthusiasts, Upper Normandy also has a splendid and captivating natural environment. This region, which includes the departments of Eure and Seine-Maritime, also has the highest density of museums in France.
The places to visit are therefore plentiful, which allows the region to appeal to all types of vacationers. Among its best-known attractions are the Place du Vieux Marché in Rouen, the ramparts of Pont-de-l'Arche, and the Château des Tourelles in Vernon.
Of course, yacht charter in Upper Normandy remains one of the destination's star activities. It will allow you to explore the sumptuous Albâtre coast from the side of the boat. The coastline of the Pays de Caux is a succession of particularly photogenic settings, such as the spectacular cliffs of Amont and Etretat.
A true paradise for getting away from it all, the region invites you to enjoy beautiful shorelines such as Tilleul beach, Vasterival beach, or the pebble beach of Tréport. What's more, you can also cruise along the coast of Lower Normandy and discover, among others, some of the Channel Islands such as Guernsey, Alderney and Sark, where time seems to have stood still.
The Haute-Normandie coastline
With a range of landscapes, from the white cliffs of the Albâtre coast to the long strips of sand and pebbles of Seine-Maritime, not to mention charming seaside resorts, Upper Normandy is an unmissable destination for relaxation and leisure. A magnificent haven of peace that can be discovered on a short trip to the rugged coastline of Etretat, the family-friendly beaches ofHonfleur and the very touristy seaside resort of Deauville.
The much more rugged coastline than that of Lower Normandy in no way tarnishes the reputation of this region, whose famous spectacular sunsets, particularly from the chalk cliffs of Criel-Sur-Mer, continue to fascinate Impressionist painters. By sailboat, you can enthusiastically discover the famous Baie de Somme, one of the most beautiful bays in the world. Famous for its precious ecological heritage, the Baie de Somme is located on the Picardy coastline, halfway between Saint-Quentin-en-Tourmont and Hourdel, and remains a major ornithological site. And let's not forget the water sports (sailing, kitesurfing, windsurfing…) that entertain summer vacationers every year in the open sea off the coasts of Honfleur, Beuzeville, Fécamp and Dieppe.
A rich heritage and authentic gastronomy
inland, Haute-Normandie invites visitors to discover its precious architectural heritage and its gastronomy, which subtly combines produce from the land and the sea. On your plate you will find delicious scallops cooked Dieppe style, or the famous Camembert, which has become a source of national pride after the apple, omnipresent in Norman desserts and appetizers.
From the gastronomy, we are gently tempted by a little trip back in time through its majestic architecture, the most remarkable of which adorns the city of Rouen, such as the Gothic-style Notre-Dame cathedral, proudly dominating the city's rooftops.
