France :

Pays d’Auge, Normand heart © Hervé HUGHES / hemis.fr

Maybe yes … maybe then again no !! Always, the Pays d’Auge seems to hesitate between sea and hedged farmland. Sea-side, this Normandie stretches between Cabourg and Honfleur passing through the star of the Côte Fleurie, Deauville and its endless boardwalks. Orchard-side, between Livarot, Lisieux and Pont-l'Evêque, the Auge valley prides itself on its cheese, cider and landscape.from manors to castles, from stud farms to casino, from charming burgs to thermal bath town, beats the heart of Normandie.
