The territory of the modern region of Normandy mostly corresponds to the boundaries of the old Duchy of Normandy, so rich in history. These days Normandy is both a green and blue region. Port activity in Normandy is booming and relies on the region’s agricultural assets. It is a popular tourist destination thanks to its nature and landscapes as well as its historical sites such as the Mont-Saint-Michel and the D-Day beaches, where Allied troops landed on 6 June 1944. Normandy’s industry is at the forefront of technology (cars, aeronautics, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy). This puts the region in a strong position to provide jobs in the future for the 25% of its population under 20 years of age, and to meet the needs of the 25% of its population aged over 60 (home automation, remote assistance systems).
