| Normandy is less than an hour from Paris, a five-hour ferry ride from England and three hundred kilometres from the Benelux countries. It is a land of traditions with a glorious past, which has managed to conserve the charms of the countryside and the sea while paying full homage to its history. In Normandy you can combine golf and swimming in the sea, golf and sailing, golf and horse-riding, golf and sightseeing, golf and culture with many abbeys, cathedrals and châteaux for art lovers to enjoy. From Mont- Saint-Michel to the port of Dieppe, from one end of Normandy to the other, there are places of interest as varied as they are unusual close to the numerous 9, 18 and 27 hole courses. From Île de Tatihou to the cliffs of Etretat, from the American cemetery at Colleville to Château Gaillard, from Le Pin stud farm to Rouen, the city with 100 bell-towers, from Honfleur to Saint-Wandrille and from the picturesque sites of Suisse Normande to the gardens of Giverny where Claude Monet lived, you will find that in Normandy, not only does golf play an important part, but there is plenty to see and the food is wonderful... From Calvados to Benedictine, from creams and cheeses to oysters and shellfish, from cider to pommeau and from fish to foie gras, all produced locally, you will discover that ours is a region offering every pleasure... |
