Embark on a two-day guided excursion from Paris to uncover the gems of Normandy and Brittany. Accompanied by an accredited guide, journey in a climate-controlled coach and delve into historic cities, coastal vistas, and renowned landmarks.
On the first day, set off bright and early for Rouen. Here, you'll meander through its delightful medieval heart, marvelling at sights such as the cathedral, timber-framed dwellings, and the celebrated Gros Horloge. Proceed to Honfleur, a charming port town famed for its vivid houses and artistic legacy, with ample time for lunch. In the afternoon, pay homage at significant World War II locations, including the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer overlooking Omaha Beach, and potentially Arromanches, where traces of the D-Day landing structures are still evident. The day concludes in Caen with dinner and an overnight stay at a local hotel.
On the second day, post breakfast, make your way to Saint-Malo for a guided tour of this ancient walled city, taking in its cathedral and fortifications, followed by leisure time for lunch. Your adventure continues to Mont Saint-Michel, a mesmerising medieval island topped by an abbey. Navigate its narrow lanes, ascend to the abbey, and soak up awe-inspiring views over the bay. After exploring, head back to Paris in the evening.
Please bear in mind that comfortable footwear is advised, as some visits involve numerous steps. The itinerary may be subject to change depending on circumstances.
