Paris is regarded as one of the most dynamic cities in Europe, and for good reason: the city assaults the senses; demanding to be seen, heard, touched, tasted, and smelled. Gaze at impressive monuments and savor its gourmet cheeses, chocolates, wines, and seafood. Paris is relatively small as capitals go, with many of its major sights and museums within walking distance of each other. A world of discovery awaits in every hidden corner and at all the famous sites, there is so much to explore.
Visit the Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame Cathedral, Jardin des Tuileries, Latin Quarter, Avenue des Champs Elysees, Musee d'Orsay, Place de la Concorde, Arc de Triomphe and so much more!
3 nights in Normandy - Suisse Normande
Suisse Normande (‘Norman Switzerland’ in English) is a paradise for outdoor pursuits. The Orne river has carved dramatic meanders and gorges into the rocks of this beautiful region, and with the highest hills of over 1,000 ft, it is the most elevated area in Normandy. Whether you’re into canoeing, kayaking, hiking or rock-climbing, this wild, hilly stretch of the Orne valley to the south of Caen is fabulous for all lovers of outdoor adventure.
Visit Roche d'Oetre, Château de la Motte, Caen Memorial Museum, Mont Saint Michel, and much more.
3 nights in Caen
Caen, the capital of lower Normandy, is a bustling industrial and cultural center, with a wealth of medieval churches and a magnificent castle. William the Conqueror founded the city in the 11th century, and was laid to rest here. Fortunately William's legacy still remains in nearby Bayeux, and its fabulous tapestry.
Visit The Memorial de Caen, Château de Caen, Museum of Fine Arts of Caen, Museum of Normandy, Château de Bénouville, Église Saint-Pierre, Abbaye aux Hommes, Abbaye-aux-Dames, and so much more!
