- normandy short breaks
Normandy is a land fashioned by history, from William the Conqueror to the birth of Impressionism along the Seine Valley and the chic Second Empire coastal resorts to World War II. Come for a short break or a holiday and discover the rich variety of this ancient French province just across the Channel!
Deauville
Gateway to Normandy with the Cityjet summer air route from London City airport, Deauville is a stylish Normandy coastal resort town that offers the perfect backdrop to a cultural city break as well as easy access to the region’s extensive beaches and historical villages and world heritage sites such as Honfleur, the Mont Saint Michel, the Bayeux tapestry and the Normandy beaches.While Deauville loves its gambling, racing and golfing traditions, the town isn't overwhelmed by them. For those who don't indulge in these pastimes, more pleasure can be had just from strolling the streets and admiring the dominating half-timbered Norman style which gives the place a refined, yet tranquil, air.
An enduring image of Deauville is its seafront, les Planches, where a boardwalk leads you past restaurants, brightly-coloured umbrellas and a delightful collection of bathing huts, all of which are fronted by rails inscribed with movie stars' names. Echoes of Hollywood are evoked as you walk past rail after rail with such names as Ava Gardner, Gene Kelly and Robert Mitchum stencilled in. It's a beautiful place for a sunset stroll and for a romantic week end.
Trouville
Less formal and expensive than its racy neighbour Deauville, Trouville offers a long stretch of golden sand backed up by a 19th century boardwalk and lots of seaside concessions. Second Empire mansions dot the hills and cliffs above the beach and a picturesque working fishing port lies around the bend of the River Touques. Trouville offers an atmosphere of authenticity, friendliness and simplicity. Strolling along the shore or in the port, with the swimmers or with the fishermen, responding to the call of the ocean or strolling along winding streets, among the casino, villas, palaces and hotels, all the charm of a restful yet lively seaside resort, with many activities and facilities for families.Caen
Caen stands out as a thriving city with exceptional historical heritage. Rebuilt after the War, the city offers an appealing mix of old and new with plenty of well-maintained green spaces and has something to offer to everyone! After a day’s sightseeing, Caen‘s excellent selection of bars, cafés and restaurant make the city a vibrant place to be after dark.Bayeux
Bayeux is a medieval town close to Caen, home to the world famous Bayeux Tapestry recounting William the conqueror’s victory at Hastings in 1066 and its medieval Cathedral. First town to be liberated in France in June 1944, Bayeux is an ideal base to visit the D-Day landing beaches and museums.Le Havre
Perfect for a city break ,le Havre is a popular seaside resort destination with its 2 km of beach and many watersports fanatics. Completely destroyed during the 1944 bombardments, the city was rebuilt in modernist style by famous architect Auguste Perret, and has now been recognised by Unesco as a World Heritage Site.Like many European ports , the Havre offers a lively, buzzing altmoshpere in the evening and a great nightlife! You’ll love the old docks refurbished into trendy nightclubs and brand new shopping and art galleries.
Rouen
Following the Seine down to the Historic capital of Normandy, Rouen leaves no visitor indifferent, with its fine half-timbered houses, its paved streets and its gothic churches. The beautiful medieval quarter is filled with traditional Norman architecture. The town’s cobbed streets have plenty to offer, brand name shops, charming cafés and excellent restaurants.Evreux
Evreux is not just privileged by its geographic situation half way between Paris and the Channel, it also has a rich historical inheritance.With ruins dating back to Celtic times, Evreux bears witness to a rich and troubled history. Its Gothic cathedral is particularly impressive. An hour drive from Paris, Evreux is an ideal base to explore the Seine Valley and the impressionist sites, such as Giverny, Vernon and the eure countryside where artists such as Monet, Boudin, Sisley and others set their easels. In Giverny, don’t miss the House and gardens of Claude Monet and the Musée des Impressionnistes, unique museum dedicated to this art movement.Granville
Granville is a lively seaside resort of La Manche department and a busling shell fishing port. The town has a casino and an authentic and lively Saturday morning market.
