South of Caen lies a rugged landscape around the Orne River, an offshoot of the Amorican Massif (over 800 million years old). Cliffs and hills rise up to 400 meters. Presumably, the area—like many other hilly landscapes—was given the name "Norman Switzerland" in the 1950s as part of its tourism promotion.
