The stunning landscapes of Upper-Normandy made this area a magnet for Impressionist painters. The cliffs in Etretat and Fecamp, the beach in Pourville-sur-Mer, Normandy's traditional farming architecture were major sources of inspiration for Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley and many others.Closer to our time, Georges Braque created stained glasses for the church in Varengeville-sur-Mer, that very same church which also served as a model for several paintings of Monet. The city of Rouen, in the Seine valley, is endowed with an exceptinal architectural heritage, the best example of which is the gothic cathedral finished in 1506. Along the road between Rouen and Dieppe, watch timber cottages typical of Normandy. After after swim in perhaps chily waters, a Norman scallop or glass of Calvados will do you good!
