Normandy

As Sussex's European neighbour, Normandy has a rich history of connections with South East England. Visitors to Sussex's many attractions will find that their appetite for beautiful gardens, historic houses and artistic festivals will be satiated by a visit to this beautiful French region.

From ultra-modern Le Tréport to the Mont-Saint-Michel, the Normandy coast exhibits an astonishing variety of landscapes. Experience breath-taking cliffs sculpted by the sea and enjoy the vast expanses of golden sand that this stunning region has to offer.

While many people will head for the lively Normandy coast, the Norman countryside, with its golden prairies, its cool, wooded valleys and its beech and pine forests, remains a haven of peace and tranquillity.

If there is a land designed for gardens, it's got to be Normandy. The quality of the light and mild climate are just two factors which contribute to the subtle and enchanting allure of the gardens here. The parks and gardens of Normandy, whether botanical, landscape or historic, have become important points of reference. Connoisseurs, as well as novices, will be enthralled by the wealth of different species as well as the beauty of the individual sites.

So complement your visit to these cultural Sussex attractions with a visit to beautiful Normandy - you won't be disappointed!
