Hotels in Upper Normandy, France

Upper Normandy sits in northern France along the English Channel, with a mild climate averaging 50°F (10°C) in winter and 70°F (21°C) in summer. Famous for the chalk cliffs of Étretat and Rouen's Gothic cathedral where Claude Monet painted his series, you can hike the coastal trails in spring when apple orchards bloom, or explore Joan of Arc's story inside Rouen's historic streets during cooler months. In summer, try cycling the Seine valley's cider route and sampling calvados, while winter lets you score cheaper hotel deals and less crowded museums.
