Normandy
Normandy (in
French: Normandie, and in
Norman: Normaundie) is a geographical region corresponding to the former
Duchy of Normandy. It is situated along the coasts of the south of the
English Channel between
Brittany (to the west) and
Picardy (to the east) and comprises territory in northern
France and the
Channel Islands. The territory is divided between French and British sovereignty. The continental territory under French sovereignty covers 30,627 km² and forms the preponderant part of Normandy and roughly 5% of the territory of France. It is divided for administrative purposes into two
régions:
Basse-Normandie and
Haute-Normandie. The Channel Islands (referred to as Iles Anglo-Normandes in
French) comprise two bailiwicks: Guernsey and Jersey.
