The Pays d'Evreux is a large expanse of greenery where towns and villages nestle amongst forests and prairies. In lots of modern towns, man works hard to recreate these "green spaces" to give some air to exhausted city dwellers. At Evreux, there has been no need for all this hard work because the woods, the paths, the pools, the flowers and the birds, in short, all the living decor of the countryside, was already in place. The desire to construct and tarmac over is great, so we had to take care to preserve this green heritage, directly inherited from nature (the forest and landscapes) or left to our care by wise ancestors (parks, hiking trails, etc.). Today, Evreux and the villages of the Pays d'Evreux offer the stunning spectacle of a privileged environment and a myriad of landscapes and viewpoints to inspire even the most demanding hiker.

  Armada de Rouen
As early as 1984, when Patrick Herr was Deputy Mayor of the Rouen and chairman of the public relations and festivals committee, he had the beginnings of an idea for a festival that would re-integrate and revitalise the port and its quays. The idea to host an assembly of Tall Ships took shape and structure with the creation of the Association "Les Voiles de la Liberté" in 1985 and a series of events including the Rouen to New York yacht race the "Course de la Liberté" in the following year..

Cuisine   - Normandy Foods / Recipes

Normandy is famous for its rich, rolling countryside providing plentiful pasture for dairy cattle and orchards for apples. The dairy produce of the region is renowned: its cheeses are world famous and include Camembert, Livarot and Pont l'Evêque. Normandy butter is highly prized, as is Normandy cream, both of which are lavishly used in local gastronomic specialities.

Regional specialities include tripes à la mode de Caen, andouilles, teurgoule (spiced rice pudding) and seafood . Normandy is the most significant oyster-cultivating region in France.
