Day 2: Deauville - Cabourg - Honfleur

Full-day private tour of the Flower Coast in a luxury vehicle

Enjoy an interesting visit to the several cities of the famous Flower Coast with an English-speaking driver-guide.

The coastal resorts east of Caen are often referred to as the ‘Normandy Riviera’ or the ‘Côte Fleurie.’ A train line from Paris to Calvados opened in the nineteenth century, bringing the wealthy from Paris to the coast, where they built luxurious hotels and mansions. It is still this architecture that sets the character of the resorts today.

The towns of Deauville and Trouville are the best-known resorts here and have numerous attractive examples of Belle Epoque architecture and famous beaches. In Deauville, you will also see the famous brightly colored parasols on the beach. Other resorts that are popular with summer visitors to Calvados include Cabourg and Houlgate.

You will also visit the coastal town of Honfleur, with its harbor surrounded by historic buildings being one of the most attractive in France. Those fond of history will want to visit Dives-sur-Mer, the town from which William the Conqueror launched his fleet to conquer Britain.

Day 3: Étretat

Full-day private tour of Etretat in a luxury vehicle

Enjoy a nice tour to Etretat Cliffs with an English-speaking driver-guide, to admire the beautiful and famous landscape and take your souvenir photo.

Étretat is renowned for the coastal scenery around the town, its white cliffs so familiar from many photos of the region. Both the cliffs and the town itself are highlights of Normandy and are not to be missed. The best way to enjoy the scenery is following the cliff-top path from the town, which has stunning views. Walking to the small Church of Notre Dame, you will have impressive views of the Arche de la Falaise d’Aval, the most famous rock formation along this part of the coast.

After exploring the cliffs, you will visit the town itself. Historically a fishing village, Étretat became a popular seaside resort during the 19th century. This popularity was enhanced by many famous artists and authors inspired by Étretat: Maupassant, Victor Hugo, and Flaubert were all enthusiasts of the region around the town, and Monet painted several well-known pictures of the coast and cliffs around. The square around the market also has some attractive and picturesque medieval half-timbered buildings, some of them featuring elaborate wood carvings. Several grand houses were built in the Belle Epoque (beginning of the 20th century), at the time the town first became established as a popular seaside resort.
