Magnificent Journey to Normandy & Brittany | Signature hotels, Wine Estate

A coastline of white chalky cliffs and the Gothic architecture of the renowned Mont Saint-Michel monastery are some of the first things that spring to mind when people mention this underrated region in northern France. While not such a typical destination for holidaymakers as Provence or Paris, Normandy boasts a wide variety of metropolitan oases, and most notably historical landmarks from a variety of different era, from its sandy beaches shrouded in the memory of the World War One landings, to the intricate Bayeux tapestry depicting the events leading up to the Norman invasion of England in 1066. By following up your trip to Normandy with a visit to Brittany, you will get to experience the more rugged and rural side of France. The region is home to towns that inspired renowned authors such as Victor Hugo and Gustave Flaubert with their stark beauty, and also its breath-taking scenery which is perfect for lovers of the outdoors. Explore the working fishing port of Audierne to see freshly caught prawns and get a taste for true Brittany, or take to the water yourself by boarding a boat trip along the Odet, which is considered one of the region’s prettiest rivers.
