Aside from the abundant wealth of history that the city has to offer, filled with stories of the battles of WWII, the beaches, country terrain and landmarks of the province are enough to persuade anyone to book a vacation villa rental in the area as soon as possible.
Today, the fine sand Norman beaches, which are surrounded by swaying green fields, are tranquil and quiet, but years ago, they were the site of the catastrophic Battle of Normandy.
