The experience

The tour departs central Paris on a luxury coach and heads into the Normandy countryside toward Rouen, the medieval capital of the region. A walking tour takes you through the city's top sights, including the Gothic Rouen Cathedral and the square where Joan of Arc was executed in 1431. From there, you continue to Honfleur, the picturesque harbor town that inspired Impressionist painters like Claude Monet. You'll have free time to explore the old town and grab lunch on your own before heading to the beaches.

The afternoon focuses on World War II history. You visit Omaha Beach, one of the most difficult D-Day landing sites, then pay respects at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, which overlooks the sea. A short stop in Arromanches, another D-Day site, rounds out the first day before you head to Caen for a group dinner and overnight stay at a 4-star hotel with a private bathroom and porterage service.

Day two starts with a buffet breakfast, then moves into Brittany. Saint-Malo, the walled port city, gets a guided walking tour along the ocean-front ramparts and a visit to the cathedral, with free time for lunch. The tour culminates at Mont-Saint-Michel, the UNESCO World Heritage abbey on a tidal island. You walk up the hilly village for a guided tour of the 8th-century Benedictine monastery, with abbey entry included so you can explore at your own pace. From the top, you'll see views over the bay and, if timing allows, watch the tide come in and surround the island. After free time to wander and shop, the coach returns you to Paris in the evening.
