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. 

The economy of Haute-Normadie is centered around agriculture, 
though it makes millions through tourism.
