Swiss Normandy
Swiss Normandy is a part of Normandy that bestrides Calvados and Orne. Its name comes from its rugged and verdant relief resembling the Swiss Alps, with gorges carved by the Orne River and its tributaries, and by erosion in the Armorican Massif between Putanges-Pont-Écrepin and Thury-Harcourt. The river has created a rugged landscape. In the hills, small steep fields are often bordered by thick hedges or granite dry stone walls and have dense vegetation.
