Map of the English Channel showing Baie de la Seine bordering Normandie.
The Baie de Seine (Bay of the Seine River ) is a bay in northern France .
Geography
[ edit ]
It is a wide, rectangular inlet of the English Channel , approximately 100 kilometres (east-west) by 45 kilometres, bounded in the west by the Cotentin Peninsula , in the south by the Normandy coast and in the east by the estuary of the river Seine at Le Havre . The coast alternates between sandy beaches and rocky promontories and, in general, it offers little shelter for shipping. At the western end of the bay are the Îles Saint-Marcouf .
Economy
[ edit ]
Le Havre is the major port of the region; there are minor harbours at Barfleur , Port-en-Bessin , Courseulles-sur-Mer , Langrune-sur-Mer , Ouistreham , Trouville-sur-Mer and Honfleur .
Domestic and foreign tourists visit the coast, given its World War II associations, sandy beaches and proximity to Paris. There are coastal resorts at Arromanches , Deauville , Cabourg , Houlgate , Villers-sur-Mer , Trouville-sur-Mer and Honfleur .
History
[ edit ]
The Battles of Barfleur and La Hogue were naval battles fought off Barfleur and Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue in the 17th century.
The Normandy coast was the location, during World War II , of the main Allied landings in France ; the unavailability of significant harbours caused the Allies to construct artificial harbours (Mulberries ) at Arromanches and Omaha Beach . There are remains of these harbours at Arromanches.
