By Tenley Wilson


You can't consider yourself a true world traveler until you've answered "yes" to one very important questions. Have you been to Normandy before?

Located right alongside the English Channel in the Northern part of France, Normandy is home to a rich history, truly charming customs, beautiful cottages Normandy and scenery that is absolutely breathtaking in every way. In fact, Normandy is considered to be the location of some of the most beautiful areas in all of the country so every world traveler owes it to himself to see it at least once in his lifetime.

Normandy should be on absolutely everyone's bucket list for the following reasons. Consider it yourself the next time you're looking to plan a romantic getaway or fun family vacation.

1. Beautiful Countryside

It's not hard to see why Normandy was the place to be when it came to 18th Century Romantic period artists. From its majestic cliffs, to its sweeping landscapes, to its quiet scenes of pastoral grandeur, Normandy is considered to be one of the most beautiful and inspiring places in the entire world. Can you imagine what it would be like to see the site where Claude Monet painted his famous water lily masterpieces? Can you picture checking out the same scenes that inspired so much of Turner's work? When you go to Normandy and experience the region's rich artistic history first hand, you won't have to imagine it anymore. You'll know thanks to experiences you'll remember for the rest of your life.

2. The Incredible Golf

If you're a golf enthusiast as well, then you should be made aware of the fact that Normandy is home to some of the best golf courses in the world. Normandy marks the ideal spot where people can combine their love of golf with their love of culture. There is actually a world-famous golf course in Rouen, the same city where Joan of Arc achieved martyr status. Tee off and then unwind as you enjoy an afternoon visiting the famous Rouen bell towers and stop for a bite to eat at any one of the city's top-rated seafood restaurants.

3. Cozy Vacation Cottages

Normandy is the perfect place to consider renting a vacation cottage for the very first time. Imagine coming back to all the comforts of home after long, lazy afternoons spent soaking up everything Normandy has to offer. Think of walking down to the seafood market and coming home with bags full of the area's signature mussels and oysters to use in a homemade stew that you can all enjoy in tandem with a lovely view. That's what you can hope for when you rent real vacation cottages Normandy. In fact, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner!
