Southern France: A Journey from Coast to Volcanoes

PLAY

Rain, D-Day, cows and Camembert – these are the images often associated with Normandy. Yet the region offers far more than clichés.

From the glowing cliffs of the Alabaster Coast to the green Seine Valley, this journey leads through the rolling landscapes of the Perche, the forests of the Orne and to the iconic Mont-Saint-Michel rising from the tidal flats.

Along the way we meet passionate people preserving Normandy’s natural and cultural heritage – from botanists protecting rare plants and craftsmen restoring historic rooftops to fishermen on the Channel and Calvados distillers continuing centuries-old traditions. A vivid portrait of a region full of surprising landscapes, stories and traditions.
