Are you looking for an excuse to move to Normandy and enjoy life in France? Here are our top 10 reasons to take the plunge.
1
You’re close to everything
Welcoming Normandy has links all over France and especially the capital: Paris! International boat and plane travel connect Normandy with the rest of the world. The two lands aren’t just close in distance; they’re bound by history too. Just take the Bayeux Tapestry and D-Day beaches. Did you know that William the Conqueror is a distant relative of the royal family?
2
You’re in for a mouth-watering experience
Have you tried Normandy scallops cooked in Isigny butter? It’s the place to “brie” for cheese with Camembert, Pont-L’évêque, Livarot and Neufchâtel! Wash it all down with refreshing beer, sparkling cider and modern calvados. Feast your senses on Normandy’s 15 protected designation of origin products, local markets and shops!

You will find a job that you love
If you’re happy at work then you’re happy at home here! Companies with CSR & QWL policies, collaborations between the worlds of research and business, innovative recruitment, future careers, exciting projects fuelling transition, engagement, progression… Normandy is sculpting a fairer and greener future in an ever-changing world.

You can easily set up your own business
Normandy is home to business clusters and a dozen industries of excellence that fuel the local economy.

Do you have a revolutionary idea, service to provide or start-up to set up? Incubators, accelerators, networks, French tech, business clusters: there are facilities all over the area to help expand your business.
