About this tour
A four-day guided road trip through Normandy and Brittany, departing from Paris. You'll travel in a small group (maximum six) with a professional driver-guide, staying in four-star hotels and visiting Monet's gardens at Giverny, the medieval port of Rouen, the dramatic chalk cliffs near Étretat, the D-Day landing beaches, and the iconic Mont Saint-Michel Abbey. The itinerary balances artistic heritage with wartime history across two of France's most distinctive regions.

What to expect
You'll spend four days in an executive minivan with five to nine seats, stopping at pre-planned sites rather than rushing between them. Your guide drives and provides commentary on the region's artistic movements, medieval history, and twentieth-century conflicts. Mornings include hotel breakfast; you'll arrange your own lunch and dinner at local restaurants they may suggest. Each evening you'll return to a comfortable four-star hotel. The pace suits all fitness levels—most visits involve short walks or leisurely exploration. Expect genuine conversations with your guide rather than scripted tours.
