Overview

Discover the best of Normandy in a single day with this private day trip from Paris, combining culture, history, and natural beauty. Your day begins with pickup from your accommodation in Paris, followed by a comfortable drive to Rouen, one of Normandy’s most historic cities.

In Rouen, join a guided group walking tour through its beautifully preserved medieval center. Marvel at the Rouen Cathedral, admire half-timbered houses, visit the Gros-Horloge, and see the place where Joan of Arc was tried and executed. Your local guide will share fascinating stories of the city’s rich past.

After your tour of Rouen, continue to the breathtaking town of Étretat on the Normandy coast. Upon arrival, enjoy free time to walk along the beach, admire the famous white chalk cliffs and natural rock arches, or relax in a local café with a sea view.
