80th anniversary of D-Day
In 2024, we are commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy, a pivotal moment in world history. An extensive programme of events is organised throughout Normandy until 15th October, to evoke the memory of this tragic period, and to emphasise the enduring spirit of hope that emerged from it.

Normandie Impressionniste
2024 marks the 150th anniversary of Impressionism. Normandy has inspired many impressionist painters over the years which is why a festival was created to celebrate this beautiful pictorial movement.
Normandie Impressionniste is back until 22 September with more than 150 events planned around the region. Find out more on: Normandie Impressionniste.
