The bright, modern Museum of the Impressionists that houses temporary exhibits of Impressionist art is found in Giverney as well.
  • Normandy – France’s northern region, on the shores of the English Channel, has been the venue for important conflicts that have marked French, European, and world history. Events ranging from William the Conqueror’s campaign to capture the English throne, the battles of the Hundred Years War, World War I, and D-Day, just to name a few, have all taken place in Normandy. Normandy is also known for its culinary delights. Savor its renowned cheeses and Calvados, as well as its rich butter and cream used to make apple pies and custards.

The American Military Cemetery stands up on the bluff as a testament to the greatest sacrifice that these Americans have made in the name of freedom.
