The Suisse Normande (an area reminiscent of Switzerland)

Guide of the Calvados

Travel Guide > France > Lower Normandy > Calvados > The Suisse Normande (an area reminiscent of Switzerland)

A combination of green prairies, woods, and abrupt hillsides, the Suisse Normande (an area reminiscent of Switzerland) is a destination that is very popular with nature lovers. Between Thury-Harcourt and Pont-d'Ouilly, the Orne valley is the perfect destination for sports enthusiasts. Around the picturesque village of Clécy, the rocky cliffs lining the river attract numerous rock-climbers. The Orne valley is also great for practicing water activities, such as canoeing and kayaking. An unspoiled place combining sport and nature!
