Guide to Gite Holidays in Normandy
Gites offer comfortable or luxurious self-catering accommodation for holidaymakers in France, with the reassurance of help and knowledge from the property owner who lives on site. Gites represent good value, can be found in most parts of France and are suitable for groups, families, couples or individuals for holidays or short breaks all year round.
Staying in a gîte has long been one of the most popular ways to take a holiday in France. A gite was traditionally a shelter. Now it is an independent, self-catering holiday home where the owner lives close by and is on hand to welcome visitors, ensure that all their needs are met and share inside knowledge of the local area.
Gites are on offer in most parts of France and there is a particularly plentiful choice of gites in Normandy, in North West France, especially at websites like French Connections.
Steeped in history, Normandy sits on the north coast of France alongside the waves of the English Channel. Although notable for the other attractions that might draw a visitor to France, ie culture, food and sunny beaches, Normandy is probably most well known for its significant contributions to France's history.
During World War II Normandy was part of the German occupied zone of France, and in 1944 a 50-mile stretch of the Normandy coast was chosen by the Allies to stage Operation Overlord, the invasion of Europe.
But this is recent history compared to Normandy's other claim to fame. In Bayeux visitors can find the Bayeux Tapestry, a piece of embroidery that stretches almost 69 meters and tells the story of the Norman conquest of England with a series of intricately sewn pictures.
Both the Bayeux Tapestry and the D-Day invasions have museums in the area dedicated to them where any history buff can probably while away several happy hours: the Bayeux Tapestry is housed in the Musée de la Tapisserie de Bayeux, and the Musee Memorial de la Bataille de Normandie displays well preserved relics like uniforms, weaponry, jeeps and tanks as well as photographs from the invasion.
As well as contributing to wartime history, Normandy influenced the art world substantially. Impressionism, made famous by artists like Monet, is said to have started in Paris from 1870 onwards, but this method of painting, where the brushstrokes are part of the piece rather than a simply creating the image, was already becoming popular in Normandy by the 1820s.
Other festivals in Normandy tend to focus on food – unsurprisingly for France. Themes of festivals include black pudding, wild plants and their uses, foie gras, mackerel, mushrooms, cider, cheese and shellfish. These take place throughout the year, and in addition to these most towns have regular markets showcasing local and traditional foods.
But if all of the history, the art and the vast array of food is just too much effort for the casual holiday maker, Normandy's beaches uncover at low tide, are wide, sandy and sunny and offer relaxation much at odds with the violence seen there during the war. And then if lying on a beach tanning gets a bit too relaxing, there are many resorts that feature yacht marinas, sailing clubs and other water sports such as windsurfing and waterskiing.
All in all Normandy represents a great destination for an affordable and enjoyable gite holiday.

why did william of normandy increase his control over england in 1066?
Because he was king, he won the battle and that is what kings do. It really isn't any more complex than that.
