The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Walk the sands of Omaha Beach, stand above the vast American Cemetery, and trace the story of liberation with a dedicated private historian-guide. One of history's most moving pilgrimages, told intimately.
Rise above the tidal flats to the abbey that has crowned its granite island for over a thousand years — in complete privacy, at your own pace. Mont-Saint-Michel is one of Europe's supreme sights, and a private day from Rouen is the way to experience it.
Step inside the pink-shuttered farmhouse where Impressionism was lived and breathe the gardens that gave the world the Water Lilies. Combine with Rouen's medieval heart for a day of sublime beauty.
Uncover 2,000 years of hidden Rouen with a passionate local guide — from Viking origins and Joan of Arc's martyrdom to the plague cemetery that still bears its macabre carvings. The medieval city at its most intimate.
Inside the Archbishop's Palace where Joan of Arc was sentenced, a state-of-the-art immersive museum brings the trial — and the woman — to extraordinary life. One of France's most original historical experiences.
Drink golden Calvados in the orchards that produce it, taste five AOC Norman cheeses at a working fermier, and sit down to a long lunch of sole normande and tarte aux pommes. Normandy's table is one of France's great pleasures.
