Haute Normandie

Mainland France has 22 regions including Corsica. We have included an overview of each region. Our long term plan is to develop comprehensive information about each region using local partners. Initially, we have a partner in Languedoc. Mail us for more information about being a regional partner.

Haute-Normandie (Upper Normandy)
... one of the 26 regions of France. It was created in 1956, when Normandy was divided into Basse-Normandie and Haute-Normandie. This division remains somewhat controversial, with some calling for a regrouping. Rouen is the local capital, historically important with many fine churches and buildings, including the tallest cathedral in France. However, the region's largest city is Le Havre.
