A particularly touristy French region due to its atypical and green landscapes and its particular attachment to the United States for obvious historical reasons, Normandy, with its very strong cultural identity, represents an ideal place for a real estate investment.
Buying in Normandy: Choosing Aesthetics and Authenticity
Normandy is full of typical villages with old buildings dating back to the Middle Ages, and restored buildings that have retained their old-world charm. Thatched cottages with old beams and 19th-century half-timbered houses are plentiful.
Whether investing in a second home in the lush Normandy countryside, renowned for its peaceful cows that delight dairy farmers and other food producers, or settling near the majestic cliffs of the Alabaster Coast, buying in Normandy means choosing to live in an aesthetically pleasing and relaxing environment.
A productive region with a significant economy
Normandy is also renowned for its significant agricultural and industrial activity: bordered by the English Channel, Normandy boasts the largest port complex in France and the third largest in Europe. Commercial ports, fishing ports, industrial ports, and large naval sections coexist here, providing numerous jobs and diverse international opportunities. A French leader in energy, Normandy has been developing its expertise and productivity in renewable energies over the years. Thus, it is not uncommon to come across a wind farm, similar to those found in Scandinavian countries, which are well ahead of the curve in the field of new energies.
Normandy is also a hub of French agriculture, home to numerous industries and a wide variety of artisans, both to the delight of the job market and the palate. Finally, culinary traditions are maintained by the many local producers of labeled products as well as the fishermen and oyster producers who carry out their courageous activity all along the Normandy coast.
A Very Open Territory
Neighboring the Île-de-France region and easily accessible from the Benelux and the British Isles, Normandy boasts extensive rail, air, and maritime networks that allow for rapid travel. Crossed by four motorways, Normandy also offers an interesting network of national and departmental roads that optimize travel.
Finally, it has five airports, which offer national connections, as well as numerous routes to England, the Maghreb countries, and Corsica. In addition, Paris airports are often less than two hours from your destination in Normandy.
