Basse-Normandie (English: Lower Normandy) is an administrative region of France. 

It was created in 1956, when the Normandy region was divided into Basse-Normandie and 
Haute-Normandie (English: Upper Normandy). 

The region includes three departments, Calvados, Manche and Orne, that cover the part of 
Normandy traditionally termed "Lower Normandy" lying west of the Seine and part of the Perche. 

It covers 10,857 square miles, 3.2 percent of the surface area of France.

Traditional regions of Lower Normandy include the Cotentin Peninsula and La Hague, 
Pays d'Auge, and the Bessin.
