The Norman village of Beuvron-en-Auge turns on the flower power each May as it stages its annual geranium festival.

Lovers of all things floral may find this a very good time to visit the area, which has a number of other scenic and historic attractions.

According to Francethisway.com, the village has a number of "not to be missed" examples of half-timbered colombage homes, a style repeated in many manor houses in the surrounding countryside.

Such architecture may appeal to those interested in buying Normandy property.

As well as the geraniums, Normandy property seekers can also enjoy the local cider for which the area is famous.

Cheese lovers are also catered for, with the town of Livarot being well known for the cheese of that name.

This and other cheeses are on display in the town’s cheese festival, held each August.
