Whether you are a true American patriot, an admirer of Gothic architecture, or just one who loves to bask in bucolic bliss, Normandy has something for you. In this spectacular tour, you will find yourself all over the northwest corner of France, also known as the Normandy region. From quant town with cobblestone structures surmounted by imposing gothic churches, to lush beaches that stretch on for miles. We take you through it all.
Named after the Normans, the Viking descendants who settled here, Normandy has played a pivotal role in European history. Its most famous leader, William the Conqueror, left an indelible mark on England, while centuries later, these very shores became the site of the D-Day landings during World War II.
This journey takes you through quaint villages, dramatic coastlines, and medieval towns, where cobblestone streets wind past Gothic cathedrals. Along the way, discover:
With its timeless beauty, fascinating history, and diverse landscapes, Normandy remains one of France’s most captivating regions. Some Normans may have ventured south to conquer lands as far as Sicily, but here, it’s easy to see why so many chose to stay.
From historic sites to coastal splendor, this tour offers the perfect blend of culture, scenery, and history. Reserve your Paris to Normandy tour today and experience the best of France’s northwest region!
Here you will find a lovely castle built in 1060 by none other than William the Conqueror. That's right, the very same one who conquered England in the same century. This castle also houses a very nice art museum, as well as the Normandy Memorial Museum, an essential stop to understand the history and significance of this area.
What better way to escape the crowds in Paris than by taking a day trip out to Rouen, where there is another Gothic Cathedral that goes by the same name as the one in Paris. One very interesting fact about this church is that for a small stretch of time, from 1876 to 1880, it was the tallest building in the world.
No trip to Normandy is complete without visiting the D-Day beaches where so many lives were lost to retake France from the Nazi forces. A truly powerful and awe-inspiring place.
Along with the beaches, the American Cemetery is a must see. It is in fact considered American soil. It stretches over 172.5 acres, and contains around 9387 graves.
