Assemble at the airport and enjoy your
flight to Paris.
Make your way to Rouen – the capital
of the Normandy region, famous for its
connections to Joan of Arc, who was
burned at the stake in 1431. The first
stop is the Saint-Ouen Abbey Church,
a magnificent Gothic church with
exquisite stained-glass windows and a
renowned Aristide Cavaillé-Coil organ.
Drop by Place du Vieux Marché to
snap some shots of Église Jeanne
d’Arc, the site where she was martyred.
Next, walk along the streets to the
Parliament of Normandy and see The
Gros-Horloge, as well as the majestic
Notre-Dame Cathedral. Then, pop by
the Église Saint-Maclou, the best
example of Flamboyant-style Gothic
architecture, and Aître Saint-Maclou.
After breakfast, go an orientation tour
of Honfluer, a gorgeous little harbour
town on Normandy’s coast that also sits
on the mouth of Seine River. Stroll along Vieux Bassin, one of the most
spectacular sites in this town, particularly
for its beautiful setting as the
reflection of the colourful row of houses
shimmers in the water and the moored
boats dotted alongside. Marvel at the
sight of Saint Catherine’s Church, the
oldest and largest surviving wooden
church in France with a separate bell
tower dating back to the 15th century.
Then step foot into the Old Town of
Honfleur and spend some time
wandering through the narrow,
cobbled streets, art galleries, boutiques,
and traditional craft shops – or how
about trying their regional specialty
cider and pancakes! Drive on to Bayeux
in the afternoon with your local guide
for a glimpse of Bayeux’s unique
treasure – the Bayeux Tapestry, which
is now housed in the Bayeux Tapestry
Museum. The long tapestry illustrates
the Norman invasion of England and
the Battle of Hastings, which has
miraculously been preserved since its
creation. Next, see the Notre-Dame
Cathedral that is built in Romanesque
style with Gothic features, which was
also the site where Harold II made his
oath to marry William the Conqueror’s
daughter in order to take the crown of
English – this broken oath eventually
led to the Battle of Hastings.
Note: The Bayeux Tapestry Museum visit is
subject to the Museum’s opening hours. In the
event of ongoing special events (i.e., Christmas
and New Year), our group may not be able to
enter the museum and there will be no
replacement.
Make a trip to Mont Saint-Michel in the
morning, a small UNESCO World
Heritage site located in an island off the
coast of the Lower Normandy region in
northern France. Visit the spectacular
Norman Benedictine Abbey of St.
Michel located at the peak of the island,
artfully surrounded by winding streets
and monastic buildings. After lunch,
visit an oyster farm in Brittany’s oyster
capital, Cancale. Take this opportunity
to learn all about oysters and sample a
taste of the famous Cancale oysters.
Afterwards, continue to the ancient
walled city of Saint-Malo, a port city
that was once home to interesting
characters like pirates and explorers
and famous for its butter cookies.
This morning, get a look at Saint-Malo
Cathedral and Château de Saint-Malo,
originally a symbol of ducal and royal
power which now houses a museum
covering the long maritime history of
Saint-Malo, the WWII Occupation as
well as the destruction and
reconstruction of the town. Spend the
afternoon exploring at leisure, or you
may wish to join an optional tour to Dinan, a medieval town surrounded
by tall ramparts that stretch for three
kilometres. Thereafter, drive to Nantes,
a city located on the banks of Loire
Valley.
Optional: Dinan City Tour
After breakfast, check out the creative
grounds of Jardin Des Plantes and
view the Nantes Cathedral. As you walk
to the Bouffay District, you will pass by
Château des Ducs de Bretagne, the
impressive symbol of Nantes, as well as
Basilique Saint-Nicolas and Place
Royale. Thereafter, visit the
magnificent Château de Chambord,
the most famous of the Loire Valley
chateaus. Commissioned by King
Francis I and imagined by the great
Leonardo da Vinci, the Chateau de
Chambord is the largest and most
majestic castle of the Loire. It is a
symbol of the French Renaissance and
of the power of a passionate ruler who
revered the arts. The Chateau and its
grandiose architecture rival that of the
Palace of Versailles. 60 of its rooms are
open to public, and you’ll also get to
enjoy a collection of 4,500 objects d'art
displayed in gorgeous, refurbished
apartments. Spend the night in Loire
Valley.

by Place de la République to view the
