Newsletter from Normandy

August 2022

---

Good afternoon,

We are very happy to share with you our monthly newsletter about events in Normandy.

We are a bit late this month and we hope you were able to take advantage of everything Normandy has to offer this first week of August.

One event that was well worth the detour for its uniqueness and creativity is: La Nuit des Soudeurs. Taking place every year on the first week-end of August on the port of Granville, you can admire welders and blacksmiths working on their art all week-end and even buy their sculptures during the Sunday auction closing the festival.

Here are some pictures from this year's edition: 

The organisers of "La Nuit des Soudeurs" are looking for artists from the Channel Islands to take part in the festival every year. If you are interested or know someone that could be, please contact us at info@maisondenormandie.com

Going to Normandy

Think about Manche Iles Express for your travels from the Channel Islands to Normandy. Once you arrive in Granville, Barneville-Carteret or Dielette, you can take a bus to explore the rest of the Region. 

• From Granville: bus lines in La Manche

• From Barneville-Carteret (line F) & Dielette (line B): bus lines in Cotentin

Region Normandy has developed transport solutions with buses, trains, carpooling. Think about Nomad for your travels around Normandy.
