Stand beneath the clifftop ruins of Château Gaillard, Richard the Lionheart’s fortress, before losing yourself in medieval Rouen, where Monet’s cathedral soars overhead. Trace the beaches of D-Day, or wander the pastel harbour of Honfleur, crêpe in hand. There’s Monet’s garden at Giverny, Bizy Castle with its cider and cheese, and a final flourish in Paris.

Your Tour Highlights

Bizy Castle
Tour the elegant Château de Bizy, built in 1740 and said to be inspired by Versailles. Its former owners include Louis XV and Joseph-Napoléon Bonaparte, Napoleon's elder brother. Explore the salons in smaller groups, admiring carved wood panelling and Bonaparte family souvenirs that offer a glimpse into life as the château's owner.
Tasting at a Historic Crêperie
Stop at Honfleur's oldest crêperie to taste the thin rolled pancake enjoyed across the French-speaking world for over seven centuries. Choose your crêpe made to order with caramel, jam, chocolate, butter or sugar, or try a galichot — a sweet-and-salty pancake-blini — washed down with a glass of local cider.
Local Farm and Cider House
Visit a beautiful farm in the heart of the Normandy countryside that has produced apple juice, sparkling apple wine, jellies, vinegar, aperitif and cider brandy for generations. Discover why the region is an ideal apple-growing haven, then savour its delicious apple-based creations alongside local specialities like terrines and rillettes.
Claude Monet’s House and Garden
Wander Monet's garden, which the artist called his "most beautiful masterpiece" and one of the world's most painted. Explore the Japanese-inspired water garden, shaded by weeping willows, where the famous lily pond inspired his extraordinary Water Lilies series — a tranquil haven of dancing light and magical reflections.
Normandy’s Beaches
Visit Ranville Cemetery, resting place of over 2,000 British and Allied soldiers, then see Pegasus Bridge before free time for lunch in Courseulles-sur-Mer. Continue to Arromanches, with its Mulberry harbour remnants and museum, before reaching the British Normandy Memorial overlooking Gold Beach, where the liberation of occupied Europe began.
