What if you slowed down?
\nFor example, you could take a cycling trip in Normandy. There are many places that lend themselves to being discovered via this mode of transport and many routes are marked and designed to allow you to travel in complete safety. From north to south, from east to west, along the coast or through the countryside, more than 50 kilometers of tracks are reserved for you. In addition, the terrain is not uneven, which will allow you, whatever your level, to enjoy the ride. \n\nThe landscapes are varied and the kilometers follow one another without being the same. Large expanses of fine sand, authentic villages full of charm, paths along canals, rivers, high places in History, whether that of the 20th century or the Middle Ages during which the region had a series of conquests ... Normandy is an immense patchwork that offers a thousand ways to be discovered. \n\nAnd if you don't feel like you can pedal, get in the saddle. We are in Normandy in the horse region par excellence. And if it is renowned for its breeding, for its horse sales as well as for the center of expertise that it represents for all trades relating to equines, it is also the ideal place for riding. Whether you are an experienced rider or just starting out, you will enjoy horseback riding in this exceptional setting. \n\nRead also: Why send your children to summer camps abroad?\r\nAlone in the world
\nAnother original idea to discover Normandy from another angle is to venture off the beaten track by letting yourself be confined in some way. Don't panic, I'll explain! Some tourist hotspots in the region find themselves systematically deserted at the end of the day. In fact, most of the time, people who come to visit them spend a few hours there before leaving. This is the opportunity for you to stay there and be able to enjoy it from a completely new angle. \n\nFor example, you can spend the night at Mont Saint-Michel. A few hotels and rooms to rent directly on the islet will allow you to do this. Imagine yourself strolling at nightfall through the sloping streets of this emblematic abbey village. It is an experience like no other. \n\nThe same goes for the village of Giverny, in Eure, known for being home to the house and gardens of Claude Monet, the painter who founded Impressionism. Spending an evening and a night in Giverny is magical. Here again, you will discover a completely different place once it has been emptied of its tourist coaches and will certainly understand why Monet was so attached to it. There is an almost timeless atmosphere that can even make you feel like you are back at the beginning of the last century. \n\n Read also: The most beautiful seaside resorts in France for your holidays\r\n
