Wander along its cobblestone streets lined with colorfully painted timbered houses, nice shops and delectable restaurants. Visit its Old Harbor, once a bustling trading hub during the Middle Ages lending an enchanting allure to the village and earning its place among the most picturesque villages in France. Visit 15th century Saint Catherine Church, the biggest one in France entirely constructed in wood! For garden lovers, visit the 'Jardin des Personnalités’ a 10-hectare landscape area offering a stroll to discover boat-gardens, in the center of which stand the busts of the key figures of Honfleur's historical and cultural heritage.
Honfleur also offers a delectable gastronomy known for its tasty seafood, buttery pastries and Calvados, a type of brandy. Stop for lunch at a recommended place by your guide.
Continue your journey to Etretat, once arrived here visit the neo-futuristic Gardens of Étretat stretching along the cliffs of the Alabaster Coast, one of Normandy's wonders with a UNESCO World Heritage-listed view. The gardens are part of a topiary volume play where landscape, contemporary art, and architecture converse poetically. Explore the Etretat cliffs from both the beach and above, where you'll be treated to breathtaking landscapes and postcard-perfect views!
If time allows, on your way back to Bayeux, stop by the charming and glamorous Deauville, the place where Coco Chanel gave her first steps as a designer! When Gabrielle Chanel arrived in Deauville in 1913, she opened a boutique on Rue Gontaut-Biron near the casino which quickly became the go-to destination for fashionable women. Initially selling hats, she later introduced comfortable, lightweight clothing that earned her renown. The thirty-year-old couturier revolutionized women's fashion with silk blouses, short canvas skirts! Stroll along the iconic boardwalk, the Promenade des Planches, vibrant multicolored parasols, luxurious hotels, and the opulent casino. Admire the distinctive Norman architecture of half-timbered buildings that grace the landscape, adding to the array of historical monuments, including exquisite examples of Art Nouveau design.
