14 Calvados
Calvados is a département of Normandie centred on the city of Caen. About 10 miles north is the ferry port of Caen-Ouistreham at the mouth of the Orne river with regular crossings to Portsmouth with Brittany Ferries.
Normandy is famed for its milk and dairy produce - cream, butter and cheeses - and for its apple-based cider and Calvados apple brandy.
The sandy coast line is also the site of the Normandy Landings in 1944 and there are numerous museums, war cemeteries and other visitor attractions in the area.
Other significant towns include Bayeux and Lisieux.
