Valognes

Manche · France

From the Middle Ages through the 18th century, Valognes served as the administrative capital of the Cotentin peninsula, and the concentration of aristocratic townhouses built during the reign of Louis XIV earned it the nickname "the Norman Versailles." This tiny town in Normandy's Manche department retains that architectural legacy alongside a modest central core with cafés and restaurants.
