Normandie Visites

So glad we did this! Monet’s house is adorable, gardens are amazing. Versailles was crowded but guide got us in quick. Lunch was a treat. Bring water bottle!

Took my teen daughter and she actually enjoyed it (miracle). Monet’s house is adorable and she loved the gardens for her IG pics. Versailles was crowded but you expect that. Lunch at the mill was a nice break—get the cider if you can. Would totally go again.

La journée a commencé tôt, avec quelques heures dans la camionnette en provenance de Paris - une occasion parfaite pour rattraper un peu de sommeil. Notre guide, Nicholas, était exceptionnel. Ses connaissances approfondies allaient bien au-delà de l'histoire de la Seconde Guerre mondiale ; il a également partagé des idées fascinantes sur la nature, l'histoire et la culture de la région. Il a su allier son expertise à la chaleur et à un grand sens de l'humour, rendant la visite à la fois attrayante et agréable. Bien que nos adolescents comprennent assez bien l'anglais et que notre plus jeune ne parle que très peu, Nicholas a réussi à maintenir l'intérêt et l'implication de chacun tout au long de la journée. La journée a été longue, mais chaque minute en valait la peine. Une expérience mémorable, éducative et divertissante pour toute la famille. Une pause parfaite dans l'intensité et l'agitation de Paris. 5/5 - sans hésitation et un grand merci Nicholas !

Went solo and ended up chatting with everyone in the group by the end of the day. Jean (our guide) made sure we had time for questions at every stop, which was great. Cider tasting was so much fun—the owner is hilarious. Don’t skip the museum, even if you’re tired. Bring a small umbrella just in case, Normandy weather is unpredictable.

Went solo and glad I did. Met some cool fellow travelers. Guide (Paul) was super knowledgeable, and the American Cemetery was a highlight. Got a bit emotional there. Bring snacks for the drive! Would recommend.

We went as a group of friends—four of us, all history nerds. The guide (Marie) kept us entertained and made the long drive go by fast. The stops were all well timed, and the lunch was surprisingly good. Bring a portable charger for your phone, you'll want to take pics everywhere! Normandy beaches are something else.
