The department of Calvados is possibly the most famous of the three departments in Lower Normandy, the other two being Manche and Orne. The inhabitants are called the Calvadosiens and it is located in the north east of the region.

Calvados gathers many different cultural and geographical areas in one spot, there are 4 main areas: in the west of the department we find the Bessin area, mainly around Bayeux; in the south west there is the "Swiss Normande" area, a hilly land with rivers; in the centre of the department we find Caen with flat agricultural land; the Auge area stands out in the east of the department as the typical Normandy image with its half-timbered houses.

Calvados appeals to most for its many beautiful landscapes and beaches including the WWII landing beaches.
