Upper Normandy

Etretat

Beautiful views of the Alabaster coast near the town of Etretat, on the English Channel, attract travelers from all over the world. White cliffs, dotted with arches, hang here over the raging sea. On both sides of the town, a path winds up the cliffs. As a reward for going up to the plateau, a gorgeous view of the ocean opens, and the gates in the chalk rock hollowed out by the wind and the sea form an unusual rock resembling a huge elephant that plunged its trunk into the waves.

Rouen. Moulineaux

An 11th-century medieval castle located in a picturesque place near Rouen. The property is nicknamed the "Castle of Robert the Devil." This fortress with classic Romanesque dungeons rises on a high hill with a wonderful view of the Seine.

Not far from the town of Barneville-Carteret on the English Channel, a prominent arch extends into the sea at Cap de Carteret. Here stands a lighthouse built in 1830. A picturesque trail leads to it from the town. Walking along the cape is a pleasure: the salty ocean wind is refreshing, mountain goats and sheep graze around, and the views are wonderful.

Abbey of Mont Saint-Michel

At the foot of a rocky island, an exciting natural phenomenon occurs. In the morning and in the afternoon, the abbey is surrounded by land, but in the evening the water begins to rise and the territory is surrounded by water.

Brittany

Saint-Malo

The port of Saint-Malo, located at the mouth of the Rance River on the English Channel. It is known for the most powerful tides in the world, the old city blocks surrounded by a wall, and, of course, its beaches.

Rocks made of pink granite

An amazingly beautiful place: a rugged coast with huge boulders of a bizarre shape, turned over thousands of years by the waves of the ocean. Thanks to the rare reddish shade of the granite, the rocks at sunset look incomparable.

The house between the rocks called Castel Meur is an extremely popular attraction in the Brittany region. Sandwiched between two cliffs on a small island, it quickly became one of the region's most photographed attractions.

Silent and mysterious huge megalithic dolmens stand at Carnac and Locmariaquer, the oldest megaliths in Europe.

Paimpont Forest, Brittany's largest forest, also known as the Fairy Forest. Everything from stones to trees is covered with moss, a fascinating and photogenic place.
