Sustainable tourism in Normandy

Behind the influx of tourists who flock to the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel or the cliffs of Étretat, making the locals fear the excesses of mass tourism, Normandy abounds in other magnificent treasures to explore:

• The varied landscapes of the Cotentin region between the steep relief of the Cap de la Hague and the large sandy beaches of Utah Beach;

• The Norman Switzerland between Calvados and Orne rivers with beautiful gorges dug by the river to discover;

• The cities of Art and History of Caen and Rouen;

• The meanders of the Seine full of surprises such as Château-Gaillard, the abbey of Jumièges or the beautiful port of Honfleur at the mouth of the Channel.

In 2022, Normandy and the spa town of Bagnoles-de-l'Orne were even awarded the title of sustainable destination by the Green Destinations organization.

The region is home to a beautiful biodiversity and several preserved areas, including 3 regional nature parks (Les Boucles de la Seine Normande, the Cotentin Marshes, the Perche and the Normandy-Maine Geopark).

As a mainly flat territory, soft mobility is well developed in the region.

Cyclists can explore Normandy thanks to 3 beautiful bicycle routes:

• The Vélomaritime follows the coastline from Mont-Saint-Michel to Le Tréport and offers beautiful escapades along the D-Day beaches, the cliffs of the Côte d'Albâtre and the Cotentin marshes;

• The Seine by bike follows the river through its meanders and allows you to discover its richness: the impressionist city of Giverny, Rouen, Jumièges or Honfleur;

• The Véloscénie takes you through the Normandy countryside to find yourself facing the Mont-Saint-Michel at the end of your adventure. The waterfalls of Mortain, the castle of Carrouges, the beautiful spa town of Bagnoles-de-l'Orne and many other surprises await you along the route.

On foot, let's mention the famous GR223 trail, which runs along the coast from Honfleur to Mont-Saint-Michel and allows you to discover the D-Day beaches, the banks of the Cotentin, Barfleur or the magnificent Cap de la Hague.
