Visit of the Normandy region for “2027: The European Year of the Normans”

After a successful first visit in May, a technical delegation from the Normandy region travelled to Guernsey and Jersey to prepare for the event year “2027: European Year of the Normans“, which celebrates the Millennium of the birth of William the Conqueror. During this artistic visit, the delegation discovered the collection of Rennes artist Claude Cahun in Jersey, Victor Hugo’s house in Guernsey, followed in the footsteps of Auguste Renoir in Guernsey, visited the heritage sites of Elizabeth Castle, Mont Orgueil Castle and Castle Cornet, and ended with a magnificent private tour of La Hougue Bie and a performance by the Ballet D’Jerri. This was a great opportunity for the Normandy region to explore artistic ways of collaborating with the Channel Islands for the European Year of the Normans!
