The Upper Normandy is a region corresponding to the eastern part of the Normandy in France.
Understand
- Haute-Normandie is one of the smallest French regions, with only 2 departments, theEure and the Seine-Maritime. Haute-Normandie was separated from Lower Normandy when creating regions. Since the beginning of the policies tried to "reunify" the 2 Normandy, without success until 2016, when the region administratively merged with Lower Normandy.
- Haute-Normandie is crossed by the Seine, which flows to Haven, after crossing Rouen. The Seine flows in a more or less wide valley surrounded by hillsides. The meanders are very numerous there, in particular downstream of Rouen. This part is crossed by 3 remarkable bridges: the suspension bridge of Tancarville, the Brotonne bridge and the Normandy.
- The Upper Normandy coast is mainly located in Seine-Maritime, with the exception of a few hundred meters in theEure. It is characterized by large chalk cliffs, and bears the name of Alabaster coast. This cliff is almost uninterrupted, interspersed only with a few valleys where towns or villages are located:
