Haute-Normandie, the region of France including the départements of Seine-Maritime and l'Eure. Haute-Normandie (Upper Normandy) corresponds to the eastern half of the ancient duchy of Normandy, located to the east of River Seine.
This coastline saw fierce fighting during World War II, especially during the three months after the Allied D-Day invasion of 6 June 1944. Very few of the lighthouses in the area escaped damage and many were destroyed.
