Tour overview
This 5-day break explores Normandy from a hotel in Rouen, travelling by Eurostar with no flights. A tour director looks after the group, which numbers no more than twenty-five. You stay four nights with breakfast daily.
After the Eurostar to Paris and a coach to Rouen, you join a guided walk through the city where Joan of Arc was tried, past its Gothic cathedral and half-timbered streets.

You visit the picturesque harbour of Honfleur, beloved of painters, with a cider tasting, and the next day travel to Arromanches and the D-Day landing beaches. On the way home you visit Claude Monet's house and garden at Giverny, with its water lilies and Japanese bridge.
The physical rating is low. This break suits history and garden lovers who want an easy trip to France without flying.
