Departing from Paris, this private four-day journey reveals Normandy and Brittany’s most defining landscapes, historic cities, and World War II landmarks. Traveling with a dedicated driver-guide, they enjoy hotel pickup and a thoughtfully paced itinerary that blends medieval heritage, coastal scenery, and pivotal moments in modern history.

Highlights include Rouen’s Gothic Notre Dame Cathedral, Monet’s frequent muse, and the timbered streets of Honfleur. In Bayeux, they view the 11th-century Bayeux Tapestry and visit the cathedral that watched over the town’s liberation in 1944. The D-Day landing sites bring history to life at Omaha Beach, the American Cemetery, Pointe du Hoc, and Arromanches’ remains of the Mulberry Harbor.

The experience continues at Mont Saint-Michel’s abbey, rising dramatically above tidal sands, before exploring the walled port of Saint-Malo and the medieval charm of Dinan. Scenic stops in Cancale and Dinard showcase Brittany’s rugged coastline.
