Normandy (disambiguation)

Normandy refers to a region and former province within France. Between 1956 and 2015 it was composed of two regions: Lower Normandy (Basse-Normandie) and Upper Normandy (Haute-Normandie). On 1 January 2016, through the application of the Territorial Division Reform Act 2014 (fr), Lower and Upper Normandy, as other regions in France, were merged in an attempt to cut down on the large bulk of public spending funding local government bodies, and to provide them with a sufficiently large size to compete with other major European territories.
