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.
Normandy is named after the people that once inhabited it—the Normans. The most famous Norman leader was William the Conqueror, who conquered all of England. These Normans also stretched further afield, going as far south as Sicily, where they established a kingdom of their own for hundreds of years. In some cases you can understand why one group wanted to pack up and leave for a warmer climate, but in Normandy’s case, it’s just so beautiful! It’s hard to imagine a place more beautiful than Normandy, but the best way to figure that out is experiencing it for yourself! What are you waiting for!

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.
