Normandy gets its name from the Viking Norsemen who
sailed up the River Seine in the 9th century and colonized the
area, making Rouen their capital. Normandy has large ports with
important transatlantic trade, whilst inland it is overwhelmingly
agricultural. The image of Normandy is one of a lush, tranquil,
pastoral region of apple orchards, contented cattle, Calvados
and Camembert. There are ancient picturesque ports such as Honfleur
to visit, seaside resorts with elegant promenades, splendid centuries-old
half-timbered manor houses lining quiet countryside lanes and
extrordinary Romanesque and Gothic architectural treasures. |
Les
Pieux is situated in Cotentin in Normandy. There is a municipal
swimming pool in Les Pieux. Les Pieux has a traditional
maket on Fridays. Les Pieux is close to the sea with its
long beaches of fine sand and superb cliffs. The area around
Les Pieux is picturesque and hides many unexpected treasures.
Les Pieux is 18 kms south of Cherbourg.
