Normandy: the flower coast & landing beaches
Normandy is a region of France famous the world over for its history, culture, and gastronomy. On this trip, you explore the ‘flowery coast’ between luxurious Deauville and picturesque Honfleur. The authentic town of Trouville sur Mer is the first base of this trip, a charming little fishing port with a long sandy beach. From here, you set off on an exploration with a series of beautiful walks. You then take the train to Bayeux (not included). You discover this charming town miraculously spared by the bombings, its majestic Gothic cathedral, and the museum of the famous Bayeux Tapestry. We explore the coast to discover the D-Day landing beaches and the remnants of the Second World War at Arromanches, Longue sur Mer and Saint Laurent sur Mer. We also visit Port en Bessin, a small port focused mainly on scallop fishing. A walking holiday combining nature and history.
