What to expect
Your guide meets you at your hotel or airport, then drives you through rolling Norman countryside toward the coast. Rouen offers Gothic architecture and winding medieval lanes where you can wander at leisure. Honfleur follows—a working harbour town where fishing boats still dock and galleries line the quay. The day peaks at Étretat, where colossal natural rock formations rise from the beach. You'll taste Calvados at a local producer, learning how apples become this apple brandy. Pacing is entirely yours; if you'd rather skip a stop or linger longer somewhere, your guide adapts. Fast-track tickets mean minimal waiting at popular attractions.
Good to know
Fully wheelchair accessible vehicle and sites. Comfortable shoes essential for exploring medieval town centres and clifftop walks. Bring layers—coastal weather shifts quickly. The tour suits all fitness levels, though Étretat's clifftop paths are optional. Gratuities not included but always appreciated.
