2. WHERE IT IS

3. 3 DAYS WORTH OF
AWESOME
 1. Visit Mont Saint-Michel
 2. Visit the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial
 3. Soak up the art and architecture in Rouen
 4. Sip your way along the Cider Route
 5. Check out the Bayeux Tapestry

4. MONT SAINT MICHEL
 The towering turrets of the abbey at Mont Saint-Michel are one of
the most iconic images of France. The village and monastery is built
on a rocky outcrop in the middle of a tidal flat and connected to the
mainland by a causeway. Mont Saint-Michel is considered to be one
of the wonders of the western world, and is one of France’s most
visited attractions.

5. NORMANDY CEMETERY
A visit to the D-Day beaches is definitely worth your time if you find yourself on
the coast. For those who had family fight WWII, the memorial honors American
soldiers who died in Europe during WWII. It is located in Colleville-sur-Mer on a
cliff overlooking Omaha Beach (one of the main landing beaches of the
Normandy Invasion). I recommend taking a guided tour of the area to capture the
full meaning, both past and present, of what many consider hallowed ground.

6. ROUEN
 Rouen is also where Joan of Arc was tried for heresy and burned
at the stake—and you can visit the very spot where the heroine met
her demise.

7. SIPPING ON THE CIDER
 Normandy is famous for its abundance of apple orchards and
cider making, so no trip to the region would be complete without
indulging in some of the local beverages. There is a clearly signed
route called the “Route du Cidre

8. BAYEUX TAPESTRY
 Bayeux receives millions of visitors each year who flock to this
small Norman city to check out the immense embroidered cloth (it’s
not technically a taspestry) known to the French as La Tapisserie de la
Reine Mathilde. The 230-foot long taspestry is one of the largest and
most detailed in the world, and the painstaking embroidery tells the
story of the events leading up to the Norman invasion with William
the conquer in 1066.
