Normandy: War-Torn Yet Full of Life

Rick Steves Europe Travel Guide | In peaceful Normandy, we explore the half-timbered charm of Rouen, reflect on Monet s lily ponds in Giverny, peek in on local artisans, and set up an easel at Honfleur s harbor. We venture into composer Eric Satie s eccentric world and feast on the finest of Normandy cuisine. After pondering sacrifice and celebrating freedom on the D-Day beaches, we hike with pilgrims to the enchanted island abbey of Mont St-Michel. © 2004 Rick Steves Europe #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #normandy
