Normandy

Normandy is a popular region of France located North West of Paris along the coastline of the English Channel. Normandy is teeming with history, including WW II landing sights, battle grounds and fields of poppies. But this is certainly not the only thing this great area has going for it. Normandy is also the home of the delicious Camembert cheese which originated from the small village of Camembert in 1680. Who could forget the famous Le Mont-Saint-Michel located in Normandy, attracting many tourists from near and far to see the world famous fairytale-like abbey perched on a small island in the English Channel.

Trains run throughout the region quite regularly and into the main destinations of Caen, Bayeux and Rouen. The area is mainly serviced by French Journey trains; however there are some routings that involve TGV trains.

You will be able to use these trains with any pass that covers France; however any fast (TGV) trains you take will require a compulsory seat reservation before you hop on. Regional trains do not require a seat reservation.
