Rouen
Today you will depart from Paris and make your way to the romantic region of Normandy. On your way, stop shortly in Rouen, for a quick coffee and a peek at the cathedral. This historic city, capital of Normandy and Giverny, is forever linked with Joan of Arc and the famous Impressionist painter, Monet.
After your visit to the cathedral, continue your drive to the coast of Normandy. Here you will find the Omaha Beach, a symbol of sacrifice for the American soldiers of the Second World War. Travel onward to Montbazon, where you will spend the rest of the day at leisure. Visit one of the oldest fortresses in France and spend the night at Chateau d'Artigny, an 18th-century style castle that is now a luxurious hotel.
