"法國的掌上明珠"

美味的蘋果酒和眾多的文化景點，諾曼第絕對值得一遊。

儘管第二次世界大戰已經結束超過60年了，諾曼第依然作為同盟國侵略法國的起始地而聞名。這個法國北邊淳樸的地區有的不僅僅是老戰場而已。這個鄉間地區以美麗的海灘、古色古香的鄉鎮、世界最好的蘋果酒和文化景點而自豪。

如果你有興趣品嘗當地的蘋果酒，去一趟諾曼地的蘋果酒之路絕對不能少。小路蜿蜒遍布整個名為拔蘭地（Pays d’Auge）的鄉間地區，你可以在這裡看到一座又一座的蘋果果園。當地的農家一定很樂意要銷售他們的蘋果酒給你—只是切記它是有酒精成分的，如果你開車的話，等你回到飯店再品嘗。

前往盧昂來點文化的滋養。你不只會發現奢華的中古世紀教堂，這個城鎮也是畫家莫內的故鄉。他的房子和花園就是他創作出許多傑作的所在，現在依然對外開放。你也絕不能錯過貝葉掛毯博物館，去看看貝葉掛毯。雖然有些爭議，不過據說這是世界上最有名的掛毯，講述1066年諾曼第征服英國的故事。

With beautiful cider and more than its share of cultural attractions, Normandy is well worth a visit.

Despite the fact that the Second World War finished more than sixty years ago, Normandy is still best known around the world as the starting place for the Allied invasion of France. The rustic region in the north of France has much more to offer than just old battlegrounds, though. The rural region boasts wonderful beaches, quaint towns, world-beating cider, and a wide variety of cultural attractions.

If youre interested in trying the local cider, then a trip down Normandys Route du Cidre is a must. The road winds its way through a countryside area known as the Pays dAuge, where youll see orchard after orchard of apple trees. The local producers will be happy to sell you their cider V just remember that its alcoholic, so try it when you get back to your hotel if youre driving.

For a slice of culture, head to Rouen. Not only will you find sumptuous medieval churches, but this town was also the home of painter Claude Monet. His house and gardens, where he painted so many of his masterpieces, are still open to the public. You should also visit the Musee de la Tapisserie de Bayeux to see the Bayeux Tapestry. This, arguably the worlds most famous tapestry, tells the story of the Norman conquest of England in 1066.
