What to expect
Each day blends historical sites with scenic exploration. Mornings often involve museum visits or monument stops—expect 1–2 hours at Normandy's D-Day locations and the Airborne Museum. Afternoons shift to walking tours in seaside villages like Honfleur (90 minutes on foot) and Etretat's cliffs. Paris days are fuller: morning sightseeing covers multiple neighbourhoods and landmarks, with afternoon free time or guided museum entry. Giverny requires a gentle walk through Monet's house and gardens. Mont Saint-Michel involves climbing and descending stairs; the abbey tour is guided in English. Travel between sites happens in your minibus; journeys range from 45 minutes to two hours.
