Normandy
is a geographical region of France corresponding to the former Duchy of
Normandy. The continental territory covers 30,627 km² and forms the
preponderant part of Normandy and roughly 5% of the territory of France. It is
divided for administrative purposes into two regions: Lower Normandy and
Upper Normandy. The population of Normandy is around 3.45 million. The
continental population of 3.26 million accounts for 5.5% of the population of
France (in 2005).
During World War II, the D Day ( 6 June 1944 ) landings on the Normandy
beaches, under the code name Operation Overlord, started the lengthy Battle
of Normandy and resulted in the Liberation of Paris and the restoration of the
French Republic. These landings were a significant turning point in the war.
