Synopsis

This opening fold-out contains a general map of Normandy to help you visualize the 8 large districts discussed in this guide, and 4 pages of valuable information, handy tips and useful addresses.

Discover Normandy through 8 districts and 8 maps

Cherbourg/ La Hague/ Cotentin
Mont-Saint Michel/ Mortainais/ Vire Bocage
Caen/ Côte de Nacre/ Bessin
Allencon/ Normandy Bocage/ Perche
Le Havre/ Côte Fleurie/ Pays d’Auge
The Seine Valley/ Marais Vernier/ Pays d’Ouche
Côte d’Albâtre/ Pays de Caux/ Pays de Bray
Rouen/ Évreux/ Vexin Normand

For each district there is a double-page of addresses (restaurants — listed in ascending order of price — cafés, delis, markets, stores) followed by a fold-out map for the relevant area with the essential places to see (indicated on the map by a star *). These places are by no means all that Normandy has to offer but to us they are unmissable. The grid-referencing system (A B2) makes it easy for you to pinpoint addresses quickly on the map.

Transportation and hotels in Normandy
The last fold-out consists of a transportation map and 4 pages of practical information that include a selection of hotels.

A thematic index lists all the sites and addresses featured in this guide.

About this title

From the Back Cover

The Washington Post says, "The map guide lets you be inconspicuous: it's as small and light as a novella, and its flip-out maps could pass as a flyer to a cool club."

"Make sure you never lose your way in a strange city. Each of the Knopf MapGuides captures its city's pith in a package as small as a passport wallet..." - Real Simple

"Knopf MapGuides are handy, practical and perfect for those of us who are slightly impaired when it comes to map-reading. You don't have to search a huge crackling sheet with a microscopic index for one of 10,000 dots on the map...The extraordinary quality of the books' beautiful hues and heavy paper also give these $8.95 guides an evocative quality that stands apart from the glossy, garish look of most travel books." - Marin Independent Journal

"A good, handy portable item for a quick trip" - San Francisco Chronicle

"We love Knopf's smart new map guides." - Travel & Leisure
