Normandy
The historical Duchy of Normandy was a formerly independent duchy occupying the Seine lower area, the Pays de Caux and the region to the west through the Pays d’Auge as far as the Cotentin Peninsula.
Western Normandy belongs to the Armorican Massif, whereas the major part of the region belongs to PARIS. France’s oldest rocks crop in the Cotentin Peninsula. The region is bordered along the northern coasts by the English Channel. There are granite cliffs in the west and limestone cliffs in the east. There are also long stretches of beach in the centre of the region. The bocage typical of the western areas caused problems for the invading forces in the Battle of Normandy.
