'Haute-Normandie' (''Upper Normandy'') is one of the 26
regions of
France. It was created in
1956, when
Normandy was divided into
Basse-Normandie and Haute-Normandie. This division remains somewhat controversial, with some calling for a regrouping.
Rouen is the local capital, historically important with many fine churches and buildings, including the tallest cathedral in France. However, the region's largest city is
Le Havre. The region is twinned with the
London Borough of Redbridge in the
United Kingdom.
