Villages frozen in time

Away from the main roads, some Norman villages seem untouched by the passing years. Beaumont-en-Auge, perched on its hill, offers superb views over the bocage, while Saint-Germain-de-Livet blends manor house, greenery and reflections on the water. These places encourage unhurried walks and reveal an authentic side of Normandy.

Quiet valleys and gentle landscapes

The Touques Valley, calmer as it moves inland, reveals tree-lined paths and peaceful riverbanks. Further south, the rolling landscapes of the Pays d’Auge unfold in prairies, hedgerows and small stone bridges. Here, nature sets the pace and invites visitors to disconnect.

Discreet and lesser-known heritage

Normandy holds a wealth of little-known heritage. Small isolated chapels, especially around Cambremer, dot the rural pathways. In Saint-Pierre-sur-Dives, the abbey and its covered market recall the historic importance of these smaller towns, once central to local life.

Gardens and preserved hideaways

Some Norman gardens remain far from the main tourist routes. Around Villers-sur-Mer or Crèvecoeur-en-Auge, wooded parks and peaceful estates offer moments of quiet. These preserved places reveal a more intimate and serene face of the region.
