The self-drive tour is the ideal way to discover Normandy with your family or friends, at your own pace!
Your first stop is your hotel in Bayeux where you check in for 2 nights. Bayeux is a magnificent town unscathed by the bombings of the Second World War, with its charming historic medieval centre and its splendid cathedral, only a few kilometers from the D-Day landing beaches. Then on to the Cotentin region for walks in very wild landscapes along the coastline and through small granite stone villages in the middle of the pastures. Inland, you feel as if you are travelling through Ireland, with hilly landscapes of green fields, sculpted by low stone walls: a breathtaking scenery of land and sea!
You end the trip with a visit the most impressive monument in Normandy, (indeed, in France!): the architectural masterpiece of the 13th century: the "Mont Saint Michel", classified as a world heritage site by UNESCO.
The Normandy coast offers a wide variety of landscapes: from dunes to pebble beaches, and the breathtaking limestone cliffs. The architecture of the houses varies from white stone to dark granite and the great diversity of crops, wide pastures and the salt marshes of the Mont Saint Michel sculpt the panorama on the hikes.
The itinerary combines history, heritage, and stunning landscapes with easy walks on coastal paths in the country of a generous, local cuisine!
