For buying and selling property in Lower-Normandy
Lower-Normandy is already a very popular region with the British due to its accessibility. It is similar to the UK in terms of both its countryside and its climate (although admittedly, having a climate like the UK is not necessarily a selling point!) Lower-Normandy was part of England in the middle ages - so it's no wonder it has the feel of home! Generally the landscape is one of rolling fields, rocky coastline and some gorges and small peaks.
A patchwork of coast and countryside, Lower Normandy also has an unrivalled cultural and historical heritage. The region became known the world over following the D-Day Landings by Allied Forces on June 6th 1944, but has since healed its wounds. It now boasts vast sandy beaches along a welcoming coastline dotted with renowned seaside resorts. The beaches of Deauville, the wild Cotentin coasts, the harbour of Honfleur are all worth a visit. Also on offer are equally attractive and totally unspoilt areas of countryside, such as the Nez de Jobourg headland. The Bayeux Cathedral, the famous Haras in Orne and the Abbaye-aux-Hommes in Caen are additional attractions.
Apart from tourism, the main economic activity is agriculture. Amongst other things, cider is distilled in Normandy to create fiery Calvados (commonly containing about 40% alcohol - though it can taste even stronger!)
There are currently no direct flights from the UK to Lower Normandy, but Rennes and Dinard in Brittany are within reach, as is Paris. However, there are plenty of alternatives. Ferries will take you to Ouistreham (Caen), Le Havre, Cherbourg and St-Malo. The Channel Tunnel is another option. If you don't want to take your car then the TGV train will take you down into Normandy via Le Havre, Caen and Cherbourg.
The coastline includes tourist resorts and fishing towns and villages. Properties on the coast and/or those with a sea view usually command a premium price. Property away from the coast is generally better value.
