Drive Around Brittany & Normandy (Thomas Cook Drive Around Guides)

This guide expertly divides Brittany and Normandy into touring areas - one per chapter. The best of the glorious coastline of Brittany and Normandy is offered, plus the region's historic abbeys and churches, its chateaux, museums, markets, food, wine, traditions and scenery. In every chapter, you will find up-to-date attraction, lodging, shopping and eating recommendations for individual towns, or for the area as a whole. This title takes you: a drive through the landscapes that inspired Gauguin; bird watching and nature rambles among the salt lagoons of the Marais Salants; a tour of the Normandy beaches, where the D-Day landings took place; and, a drive along the Seine Valley with its Norman abbeys and Monet's celebrated garden.
