The large ports of Rouen, Dieppe, Le Havre and Cherbourg provide ideal entry points to Normandy with several routes and ferry crossings each day. Normandy cottage holidays are popular for those who don't wish to drive too far to their property or who want to enjoy a short break in the region.
Perhaps one of the most famous abbeys in the world, the eighth century monastery of Mont St-Michel stands proudly out of the Baie du Mont St-Michel. Open daily throughout the year, this historic sight should not be missed. The coastal resorts of Honfleur, Deauville and Cabourg are among some of the favourite destinations when enjoying a holiday in Normandy, and have long been popular with Parisiens.
