Normandy Tours
Historic
Normandy - plan an overnight
or longer package to Normandy
with its many sights of historic significance and natural beauty. From
Mont St. Michel (left), one of the seven wonders of the world, to the English Channel resort towns of
Deauville and Trouville, the coastline is fascinating and beautiful to
visit. The port town of Honfleur remains just as it was a century ago, and will charm you with its winding street and fishing boats.
The historic city of Rouen, where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake at
19, is known as the "City of 100 spires" for its large variety of
medieval churches. Nothing makes World War II history come to life more than visiting the D-Day
beaches, including Omaha Beach, where Allied forces invaded
occupied France,
and the famous American Cemetary at Colleville sur Mer (right). Drive a bit
inland through the beautiful rolling countryside with its many farms and
thatched-roofed, half-timbered houses to discover the town of Bayeux
and the famous medieval Bayeux Tapestry, and centuries-old lace-making tradition
and Lace Museum. Taste Normandy's delicious apple brandy, Calvados, and the sweet or dry hard apple cider that is served with traditional
crèpes. Stay in a historic chateau, or one of Normandy's many lovely and
charming hotels and inns. Visit Normandy as an excursion during your trip to Paris, or plan an entire vacation there, or in combination with Brittany, just to the west. Contact
