MEET IN STYLE, MEET IN NORMANDY

Normandy, a region open to the world and to the future
A remarkable living environment between land and sea and close to Paris, an innovative economy and friendly, welcoming people… These a just a few reasons why Normandy can pride itself on being a prime destination for congresses, business conferences and meetings. Normandy offers all of the advantages you are looking for in order to run a successful event: a rich historical heritage, a vibrant cultural life, unmatched natural settings and efficient infrastructures to suit your needs.

Business tourism in Normandy can be experienced through the singularity of its five main congress towns and cities: Bagnoles-de-l’Orne, Caen la Mer, Deauville, Le Havre and Rouen.
Normandy is a region for all tastes and all seasons. Other destinations off the beaten track such as Alençon, the Cotentin Peninsula, Dieppe or Etretat, will all charm and surprise you, as will the famous Mont-Saint-Michel, which is also a great place for an unforgettable business event.

Hosting an event in Normandy also means an opportunity for you to offer your clients a rich programme of unique activities, which reflect the region’s identity and history, such as D-Day and the Landing Beaches, the Mont-Saint-Michel and nautical activities, Impressionnism and Claude Monet…
Bienvenue en Normandie !
