Lower Normandy is an administrative region of France.
Traditional regions of Lower Normandy include the Cotentin Peninsula and La Hague, Pays d'Auge, and the Bessin.
The main thrust of Operation Overlord during World War II was focused on Lower Normandy. The beaches of Calvados were the site of the D-Day landings in June 1944. Lower Normandy suffered badly during World War II, with many of the region's towns and villages being destroyed during the Battle of Normandy.
The region is the leader in France in the sectors of butter, cheese (fromage frais), soft cheeses, cider apples, cider, leeks, turnips, and flax. The region also breeds more horses than any other in France. The western part of the region is used mainly for farming, because of the prairies. Iron ore is mined near Caen. Tourism is also a major industry. The region has direct ferry links to England (via the port of Cherbourg and Caen Ouistreham).
