Lower Normandy Travel Guide

This is a town you have to visit when you're in Normandy, it has its own unique atmosphere. It used to be very popular with artist, especially the impressionists and you can still find numerous little galleries and arthouses. The old harbour and Sainte Catherine are two musts. For the people who like museum, you can buy the Pass Musées which cost you 9,30 euro if I remember correctly and will get you into four museums; Musée de la Marine, Musée d'Ethnographie, Maisons Satie and Musée Eugène Boudin. If you would pay for the entrance fees of the last two you'd pay more than for the Pass. These two are the only ones that I thought were worth the time.

Whatever you do don't go during the weekend like me if you can avoid it. It is a popular daytrip for many French and the streets in the historical centre around noon on a sunday are packed. Especially if the weather is nice.

This tiny little village is just adorable. It is perched on a small hill giving you a great view over the land lying between the village itself and Trouville/Deauville, you can even see a bit of the channel if the weather is good. It is a rather popular trip taken by the people staying at the coast, so it can get quiet touristy. There are a few galleries there, Antione Vit being the most popular one, who cater especially for the new rich still trying to be a bit bohemian. 

The church has been partially destroyed during some war, forgot which one, and now they are still rebuilding it. It looks normal on the outside but the inside is rather odd. Even though it is rather dirty it is worth a look.
