The French word "normande" refers to something that comes from or is related to the region of Normandy in northern France. There are several synonyms that are commonly used to describe Normandy or its products, including "Norman," "Normand," and "Norman-style." For example, dairy products made in Normandy are often called "Norman cheeses," while a dish made with apples and Calvados, a type of apple brandy from the region, may be referred to as "Normandy-style." The term "Norman architecture" is also used to describe the style of medieval buildings found in the region, such as the cathedrals of Rouen and Bayeux.
