France

The salt spray from the English Channel hits the boardwalk of Deauville with a rhythmic persistence that defines the pace of life in this corner of Normandy. I have spent years wandering through French coastal towns, and there is a specific clarity to the air here that makes walking the only logical way to see the landscape.

Why Calvados is Best Explored on Foot # Calvados is a region defined by its geography—the dramatic cliffs, the flat, expansive beaches, and the dense, green countryside. If you rely on a car, you are tethered to parking lots and main roads, often bypassing the narrow, winding paths that reveal the true character of the seaside towns. Walking allows you to linger at a street corner to observe the local morning routine or to duck into a narrow alleyway that leads to a quiet courtyard.
