Choose Calvados for your next destination and travel to the heart of a green and wild landscape. Start by strolling through the village of Honfleur's cobbled streets, also known as the city of painters. This port town stands out for its attractive, colorful houses and artists' studios. You can walk around the Vieux Bassin and visit the Sainte-Catherine church. Enjoy a beautiful sunset from Mont Joly.
If you want to go to the coast for a moment of swimming, go to the beach of Cabourg. You will have an excellent view of the Côte Fleurie and that of Nacre. Marvel at an even more majestic panorama from the Orne estuary. This protected natural site offers an idyllic view of the Bay of Sallenelles and the Pointe du Siege.
Mark your visit to Calvados by exploring the landing beaches, particularly the Pointe du Hoc, a mythical place in the department. A beautiful view of the ocean awaits you. For a richer experience, first stop by the Caen Memorial, a museum that tells the story of the Second World War.
Speaking of the capital of the Calvados department, Caen is full of historical monuments to visit. The Men's Abbey, a Gothic and Romanesque-style building erected in 1063, is a must-see. You can also discover the Château de Falaise and its three dungeons.
Don't leave Calvados without visiting the Basilica of Sainte-Thérèse of Lisieux. This imposing 20th-century building attracts attention with its façade decorated with sculptures, mosaics, architectural style and monumental interior. ◄
