All around the area: The Normandy countryside is much loved by people on vacation, because it reminds them of what the countryside used to look like decades ago in other countries, prior to urban sprawl! Mile after mile of rolling fields, with hedgerows, beautiful trees and lots of animals. The area offers not just breathtaking views, but also a peaceful setting, ideal for relaxing, walking, cycling or exploring in the car. The local cafes and restaurants offer wonderful food at really low prices. The sea is only a fairly short drive away, with sandy beaches.
