The sky of pastel tones from sky-blue to smoky-gray with a unique radiance inspired many artists. There is no such sky anywhere, only here in the evergreen Normandy. It was among these beautiful landscapes: sheer rocks, old elms, emerald valleys, such a direction of painting as impressionism was born. Not for nothing Claude Monet chose this place for life and creativity - a pink house with green shutters still attracts thousands of tourists to Normandy, where the great artist created his canvases.
But not only the painters embraced the inspiration at the sight of the beauties of this land. Flaubert, Maupassant, Proust - apparently the air of this region has some magical power, nourishing creative minds ... Normandy is undoubtedly one of the most romantic provinces of France. It is located in the north-west of the country, from Paris it is separated only 130 km.
