Berville-sur-Seine, Normandy, France, 1980 Photograph by David L.
Arnold Cattle stand at attention in Normandy&#039s Berville-sur-Seine,
a small rural town on the banks of the Seine River. More than a
thousand years ago, Vikings sailed into France along this river. They
married themselves to the girls of the region and to the fat of the
land, making Normans out of Norsemen.
