What to expect
You'll depart Paris mid-morning and head northwest into Normandy. In Rouen, explore the cathedral and medieval quarter at your own rhythm whilst your guide points out highlights. Deauville offers beachside promenades and art-deco villas—perfect for a stroll and café stop. Honfleur's compact harbour is best explored on foot, browsing galleries and timber-framed buildings. Travel time between towns eats into sightseeing, so prioritise what matters most. The Calvados tasting (included) happens at a working distillery or shop. Your guide handles logistics: tickets, timings, and ensuring you catch departure windows. Unguided option means a driver only—no narrative, but same reliability.
Good to know
Lunch is your responsibility; picnic supplies and casual restaurants dot all three towns. Infant seats available if needed. Wear comfortable shoes for cobbled streets. Normandy weather shifts quickly—pack layers. Allow travel time between stops (roughly 1.5 hours total driving). Early start maximises daylight and reduces rushed feeling.
