Making the Most of Your Time

Normandy is a big region with lots to see. If you have 10 days or so you can do it justice. If not, you'll need to prioritize.

In search of natural beauty? Head to the coastline north of Le Havre. Prefer sea and sand? Beat it to the beaches west of Trouville.

Like city life? You'll love pretty Rouen. Are you a history buff? Base yourself in Caen to tour the D-Day beaches.

Can't get enough of churches and cathedrals? You can go pretty much anywhere, but don't miss Bayeux, Rouen, or Mont-St-Michel. (The last is a bit isolated, so you might want to get there directly from Paris, or at the start or end of a tour of Brittany.)
