“From the Chateaux in the Loire Valley to the fascinating Bayeux Tapestry in Normandy, & wine tasting in Burgundy, this is the ideal tour to see France. The highlights for me were the Tapestry & Mont St Michel. It was quite hot in July, as Europe was experiencing their "canicule" (heatwave) & also being the high season, there were people everywhere. But overall, it was a historical & fun tour.”

“This was a first for my husband and I. First time overseas and first time on a Bus Trip. We loved it!! Got to see so many parts of France and we did not have to drive ourselves, that was the best part. We had a very professional driver and an Awesomesauce Tour Leader - Branden! Branden was very professional, good communication, accommodating, knew his history, and was so nice to talk with!! The bus made plenty of stops for breaks and all the meals that were included were good. All of the hotels were nice, nothing special about them, but always felt safe, slept good & always hot shower. The Chateau's were Amazing & Mont St. Michel was my favorite stop, so Beautiful! Normandy was somber, but glad we visited. A lot of opportunities to drink wine on this tour - even if you do not, (like me) still a great tour and you do not need to partake if you do not want to, you will still have a GREAT time!! I feel 7 days was fast, but it was a good amount of time to get our feet wet. We did however, come to Paris early and spent 4 days on our own before the bus trip, that was so nice to see the sights (Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Arc de Triumph, etc...) on our own as the Bus trip only gave us a drive by on those sights. We look forward to using this tour operator again for another adventure.”

“An amazing way to experience the Normandy region, its people and places. Our accommodations were terrific, the paths and countryside beautiful, and the arrival by foot down on to Omaha Beach profound. Thank you for creating this unique and unforgettable experience.”

Tour Highlights

  • Make it a point to visit Mont-Saint-Michel during your trip to Normandy. This tidal island is famed for its castle-like abbey that appears as though it has risen out of the sea.
  • Head to Caen for a whole host of things to do and explore. Caen Castle and the men’s and women’s abbey all have links to William the Conqueror, and when night falls, the streets in the Vanguex neighborhood come alive with various bars and restaurants.
  • See the infamous Bayeux Tapestry that depicts the campaign led by William the Conqueror to conquer England in 1066.
  • Enjoy the perfect seaside holiday in Deauville, which is also popular among visitors for its golf courses, marina, horse racing culture, and casinos.
  • Visit the capital of the Normandy region, Rouen. This port city is steeped in history, with the oldest inn in France, La Couronne, the stunning Notre Dame Cathedral, and the Gros Horloge Clock Tower.
  • Explore the D-Day beaches on a World War II tour of Normandy. The five beaches, with their code names of Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword can evoke powerful feelings as you walk where many men bravely fought for Europe’s freedom.
  • Savor some of the best cheeses in France, all found in the Normandy region. The star of the show is Camembert, but other varieties like Neufchatel, Livarot, and Pont-l’Eveque aren't to be missed.

Travel Tips

  • Be respectful when visiting war memorials in Normandy.
  • Devote at least half a day to the Mémorial de Caen, which commemorates Normandy Landings and the Battle of Caen.
  • Make your vacation go further by booking tours from Paris to Normandy. As most key attractions and towns are just a two-hour drive from the capital, you get to experience the best of both worlds.
  • Add Amiens and Lille to your itinerary if you are on a World War II tour of Normandy.
  • Plan ahead if you are going on Normandy beach tours in the summer, which is the peak time for tourism. Or aim for the shoulder months of May and September.
  • Consider visiting lesser-known gems like Trouville-Sur-Mer and Valleuse d’Antifer on your Normandy trip.
