In Normandy, picturesque, wild sea surf on rugged cliffs is combined with calm waves on fine sandy beaches. The white chalk cliffs, rock formations that protrude from the sea are fascinating. The Norman coast can boast beautiful seaside resorts such as Deauville, Cabourg and Houlgate, whose sandy beaches are on a par with those of the Mediterranean.

Many nicknames adorn the island of Corsica. The Greeks z. B. gave the island the name “Kalliste, the most beautiful”. At 185 km long and 85 km wide, Corsica is a mountain range in the sea.

Brittany, with its 3000 km long coastline, is one of the most charming regions in France and offers a very diverse landscape. It ranges from cliffs to bizarre rock formations, small bays and long sandy beaches.
