Normandy is located in the North West of France with Brittany to the west, Paris to the east and the Loire valley to the south. Normandy is a popular destination for many holidaymakers searching for an enticing holiday rental. The gently rolling hills are covered with woodland, farms and nature reserves.
Normandy is renowned for its cuisine of fresh seafood along the coast and roasted duck and chicken recipes inland, which are traditionally drunk with some cider or calvados, or both.
