Normandy

Gentleman Farmers, Conquerors, Memory

OVERVIEW

Normandy is a land of powerful memories, dramatic coastlines, and deep-rooted traditions. Its landscapes blend wartime heritage, maritime spirit, and the comforting richness of its culinary culture.

From the D-Day beaches to the silhouette of Mont-Saint-Michel rising from the tides, the region offers moments of reflection and awe. Villages, pastures, and rugged shores reveal a way of life shaped by history and the elements. With every visit, Normandy’s character unfolds in layers — human, humble, and unforgettable.

THE CUISINE

Normandy’s cuisine is rich, rustic, and deeply tied to its farmland and orchards. Camembert and Livarot bring the region’s signature intensity and creaminess, while andouille de Vire and boudin noir highlight its mastery of charcuterie. Local cider, crafted from carefully selected apples, adds freshness and balance to these hearty flavors. Together, these specialties form a culinary tradition defined by authenticity, depth, and the generosity of Normandy’s landscape.

THE LOCATION

Land of the Conquerors

Normandy is shaped by a legacy of gentleman farmers, powerful conquerors, and a deep sense of memory. It is the land of Guillaume le Conquérant, whose story begins in these fields and fortresses, and the same coast where history shifted again during WW2, leaving an enduring mark on its shores. This region blends rural elegance with monumental heritage, creating a landscape where past and present stand side by side, each chapter woven into its identity.
