No region has been more lavishly adorned by Nature. Its mountain
landscapes have caused it to be surnamed "La Petite Suisse." Among the
more interesting places may be mentioned =Bagnoles-de-l'Orne=, with its
famous mineral-water springs; =Rouen=, with its celebrated cathedral,
churches of St. Ouen and St. Maclou, Palais-de-Justice, and port (which
the war has transformed into one of the most important in Europe);
=Caen=--"Norman Athens"--with its Romanesque churches, Renaissance
mansions, and ancient houses; the great cathedrals of =Sées=, =Evreux=,
=Bayeux=, and =Coutances=; the feudal ruins of =Arques=,
=Château-Gaillard= and =Falaise=; the Abbeys of =Jumièges= and =St.
Wandrille=; the mediaeval narrow winding streets of =Lisieux=.
Numerous sea-side resorts: =Dieppe=, =St. Valéry=, =Fécamp=, =Entretat=,
=Le Hâvre=, and =St. Adresse=, =Honfleur=, =Trouville=, =Deauville=,
=Villers=, =Houlgate=, =Cabourg=, =Cherbourg= and =Grandville= are too
widely known to call for special mention.
Lastly =St. Michael's Mount= (surnamed the "Marvel of the West"), with
its extraordinary pyramid of superimposed Gothic monastery and Churches,
built on a rock in the middle of a deep bay.
