Normandy highlights

Etretat cliffs

An inspiration for the works of artists like Boudin and Monet, these chalky white cliffs create a stunning yet dramatic scenery.

Rouen Cathedral

This striking Gothic cathedral is one of the main attractions of Rouen and was the main subject of many paintings by Monet.

City centre of Le Havre

Visit Le Havre’s city centre, a UNESCO-protected area completely redesigned by architect Auguste Perret after World War II.

Dieppe Port

This port has been the gateway between the UK and Normandy since the 1800s. Admire the charming Gallic buildings surrounding the port.

D-Day Landing Beaches

Visit the picturesque beaches along the 80-km Normandy coast where allied troops fought for their countries against occupied France during World War II.

Port of Honfleur

Originally founded by the Vikings, this port was where the expedition that finally founded Quebec departed from.

Deauville Beach Resort

Check out the resort’s Promenade des Planches, consisting of a wooded walkaway parallel to the beach and huts dedicated to famous movie personalities.

Les Andelys

Divided into 2 parts, the Grand-Andely and Petit-Andely, this Norman village lies on the Seine River and includes sights such as Château Gaillard.

FAQs about hotels in Normandy

Remembering the Past, Relishing the Present

Bordered by the English Channel, Normandy is a sleepy French region that sees many visitors arrive via its major seaports – Cherbourg, Dieppe, Le Havre and Ouistreham.

Between these last 2 is Deauville, home to some of the most exclusive Normandy hotels by the beach. Its pristine sands and international film festival have secured its prestige for the glitterati. The surrounding region of Calvados is famous for its cider and brandy, and Normandy also home to camembert cheese.

Calvados was also the site of the Allied landings and Booking.com has a great range of B&Bs and hotels near D-Day beaches. Caen, the Normandy capital, is a lovely city that houses the Memorial for Peace, a museum detailing the effects of conflict, and World War II in particular. North of here in Bénouville is Pegasus Bridge, while the D-Day beaches span from Ouistreham to Arromanches, home to another of Normandy’s WWII museums.

Inland is the Bayeux tapestry, a huge, hand-stitched depiction of the Norman conquest of England. Off the region’s western shores are the Channel Islands, while at its south-west corner are Avranches and nearby Mont Saint-Michel, accessed via a causeway.

Other Normandy attractions include Rouen, a historic city with colourful, half-timbered houses and an archaeology museum housing finds from the Roman amphitheatre down the Seine River in Lillebonne.

Our room (or should we say apartment?) had an interesting configuration (nice!), was very spacious and always clean. The view to the beautiful garden of the property is gorgeous. Our breakfast was brought in a picknick basket to the room and prepared from a wide range of delicious things we could choose from for every taste. Everyone of the hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Many thanks!

This hotel was amazing! It is incredibly location right at the entrance to the mont st michel. We could see the abbey from our window. The room was very spacious and incredibly modern - a pleasant surprise for us! While the room had no AC, we could leave our windows open to bring some fresh air in during a hot summer day. Beautiful restaurant for breakfast as well.

Though Honfleur buzzes with tourists even in October, wandering its quieter backstreets uncovers a softer, more genuine side of the town—warm shopkeepers, tucked-away boutiques, and glimpses of its artistic heritage. We wished more of that creative energy were alive in the mornings, beyond a few scattered galleries and studios.

I was in Deauville for the Bridge Festival, so chose the location for that reason. However, I would say that some of the restaurants in Deauville are not great value or quality and prefer to eat in Trouville where there is better choice and value in my opinion. It is all down to personal taste, obviously many wealthy Parisians and foreign visitors like to be in Deauville, for the beach and top hotels. Relative to Trouville it is quite smart, but Trouville is more lively and overall more interesting. Next time, I will stay in Trouville although it is more of a walk to the casino.

The cathedral is so beautiful as is the whole town.

The cathedral is so beautiful as is the whole town. It truly is postcard perfect. We loved the Battle of Normandy museum and learned so much about the WWII history of the town. The military cemetery and memorial to journalists are both well worth visiting. And we also did a half day D Day tour which was very good. And it was only two hours by train from Mont St Michel which is the most incredible place.

Have been to Dieppe many times previously and love it.

Have been to Dieppe many times previously and love it. Lovely views, next to the harbour and sea, great choice of restaurants, although we are addicted to Le Tout Va Bien, which suits us perfectly. The only downside at the moment is that the main bridge for easy access to the sea front and harbour is closed. I gather work is 10 months behind schedule, and the tortuous diversion for motorists is very poorly signposted..:(

Cherbourg is dominated by a huge harbour where your ferry comes in. The town itself is long from east to west, spreading out from the harbour. From north to south it is much smaller. The harbour area and the promenades are worth walking around and the central area at the Place Charles de Gaulle is the best area to relax in. It's also the ideal town from which to see other nearby attractions, such as a D-Day beach, the Bayeux Tapestry and Mont-St-Michel, all of which I visited. One word of warning - the French railway service isn't the best. The trains are subjected to many cancellations and delays and the ticket machines in the stations frequently refuse to give you a ticket! Railway problems aside, the town of Cherbourg and other parts of Normandy are worth a holiday and I'm so glad I went.
