About this experience
At the mention of Normandy, the heart starts to sing! You will wander through narrow medieval streets and be impressed by the Gothic cathedrals in Rouen - the capital of the region. Recall the paintings of impressionists in the fishing village of Honfleur. And in the resort towns of Trouville and Deauville, you will walk along the La Manche waterfront, admiring half-timbered houses and observing the leisurely life of the French countryside.
