Land of rich pastures and fashionable watering-places, Normandy may truly be said to have been "favoured by the gods." Her fertile soil, famous breeds of horses and cattle, picturesque sites, and renowned sea-bathing coast have made Normandy one of France's most flourishing provinces. Numerous splendid monuments evoke in the tourist's mind reminiscences of a glorious past.
No region has been more lavishly adorned by Nature. Its mountain landscapes have caused it to be surnamed "La Petite Suisse." Among the more interesting places may be mentioned =Bagnoles-de-l'Orne=, with its famous mineral-water springs; =Rouen=, with its celebrated cathedral, churches of St. Ouen and St. Maclou, Palais-de-Justice, and port (which the war has transformed into one of the most important in Europe); =Caen=--"Norman Athens"--with its Romanesque churches, Renaissance mansions, and ancient houses; the great cathedrals of =Sées=, =Evreux=, =Bayeux=, and =Coutances=; the feudal ruins of =Arques=, =Château-Gaillard= and =Falaise=; the Abbeys of =Jumièges= and =St. Wandrille=; the mediaeval narrow winding streets of =Lisieux=.
Numerous sea-side resorts: =Dieppe=, =St. Valéry=, =Fécamp=, =Entretat=, =Le Hâvre=, and =St. Adresse=, =Honfleur=, =Trouville=, =Deauville=, =Villers=, =Houlgate=, =Cabourg=, =Cherbourg= and =Grandville= are too widely known to call for special mention.
Lastly =St. Michael's Mount= (surnamed the "Marvel of the West"), with its extraordinary pyramid of superimposed Gothic monastery and Churches, built on a rock in the middle of a deep bay.
