Chris Newens is an award-winning British writer based out of Paris. He has very close ties to Normandy, thanks to a family home in the seaside village of Varengeville, just outside of Dieppe, and he visits the area upwards of six times a year, always passing through Rouen on the way. He has toured the Finistè re region, attending little-known festivals and finding hidden tourist gems.
Beyond his passion for Normandy and Brittany, Chris is also a great lover of travel and travel guides and spent his youth obsessing over countless destinations around the world, pouring over maps and guides to do so. And, indeed, while he' s had experience in many different areas of the writing industry— including as a finance journalist for the New York Times and later produced copy for Australia' s National Parks and Wildlife Service— travel has always been his main love.
