It's hard to pin down specific highlights in inland Normandy . The pleasures lie in the feel of particular landscapes - the lush meadows and orchards, the classic half-timbered houses and farm buildings, and the rivers and forests of the Norman countryside. Gastronomy is, of course, another major motivation for going there - the cheeses, creams, apple and pear brandies and ciders for which the region is famous. The Pays d'Auge country south of Lisieux and the Vire Valley to the west are the best for this. The Suisse Normande is canoeing and rock-climbing country, and there are endless good walks in the stretch along the southern border of the province designated as the Parc Naturel Regional de Normandie-Maine . Of the towns, Conches is the most charming, Falaise has William the Conqueror as a constant fall-back attraction, and Lisieux has religious myths - and a spectacularly unpleasant basilica to back them up.
