From
ultra-modern Le Tréport to the
Mont-Saint-Michel, Normandy exhibits
an astonishing variety of landscapes. Golden
prairies, cool, wooded valleys and its beech and
pine forests, remains a haven of peace and
tranquillity, while its little villages, leafy
fanes and clear streams are the ideal setting in
which to relax and rediscover the joys of
nature. At the coast, vast expanses
of golden sand that disappear and reappear with
the tide, the air fruit of new
promise, and the sea that sculpts the
cliffs with the pounding of its waves, they all
create a fantasy architecture.
In the area visit Mont Saint
Michel, Rouen the city with the hundred bell-towers, and many castles and manor
which strew the campaigns. The simple pleasures or the great events give each
other appointment in Deauville or in festivals as "Jazz under the apple trees"
.
Also visit Camembert, home of the Camembert
cheese, located only 5 Kms away from the hotel.
This small village in the province of Normandy,
perched on a hill in the fertile Pays d'Auge,
overlooking the trout-filled Viette river,
is composed of half-timbered dwellings huddled
around the church. The origins of the village
date back to the Dark Ages, well before the
Norman invasion of England. The legend says that
an inhabitant of Camembert, one Marie Harel,
invented the cheese which bears the village's
name. She was reportedly given the "secret" of
its manufacture by a priest.
