Template:Infobox French Région Haute-Normandie (Upper Normandy) is one of the 26 régions 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. The region is twinned with the London Borough of Redbridge in the United Kingdom. The capital of Normandy is Rouen, known for its cathedral (highest in France)
