The department of Manche is in Lower Normandy and is bordered with Calvados, Orne, Mayenne and Ille-et-Vilaine. The English Channel in the west, north and north-west coastlines makes getting here to its many ports very easy from the UK. There is also an airport in Caen and many others are easily accessible in the surrounding regions such as Rennes airport.

History is all over the department through its museums and heritage, discovering the local traditions and culture as well as Chateaux, religious monuments, water mills, maritime sites and gardens is easy to do. The biggest 'must-do' is a visit to Mont Saint Michel.

Tourism plays a major role in the economy of the department which is fine because there is so much to see and do.

The department of Calvados is possibly the most famous of the three departments in Lower Normandy, the other two being Manche and Orne. The inhabitants are called the Calvadosiens and it is located in the north east of the region.

Calvados gathers many different cultural and geographical areas in one spot, there are 4 main areas: in the west of the department we find the Bessin area, mainly around Bayeux; in the south west there is the "Swiss Normande" area, a hilly land with rivers; in the centre of the department we find Caen with flat agricultural land; the Auge area stands out in the east of the department as the typical Normandy image with its half-timbered houses.

Calvados appeals to most for its many beautiful landscapes and beaches including the WWII landing beaches.
