Rouen is a step back in time, with its grand Gothic cathedral and medieval quarter. Stroll through the historic streets of Rouen, where Joan of Arc's story came to a fiery end. Cyrus half-jokingly calls it the original 'cat lady convention' spot, alluding to those old witchy tales (this quip didn't quite amuse Alexandra). [27km, Get Directions]

Mont Saint-Michel is simply breathtaking, an iconic island abbey rising from the sea. Cyrus insists that the climb is worth it, not just for the enchanting streets and panoramic views, but also for the famous Omelette de la mère Poulard at the top. [268km, Get Directions]

Explore the D-Day Beaches, a testament to WWII history where Allied forces landed. While Alexandra preferred to keep our guide war-picture-free, the beaches themselves are a profound site. [180km, Get Directions]

Don’t forget to wander through the Gardens of Étretat, where Alexandra critiques topiary art with a crepe in hand and Cyrus becomes a maze-master extraordinaire. [115km, Get Directions]

Visit Giverny to see Monet's inspirational gardens. Wander through the vibrant flower beds and the serene water lily pond, scenes right out of his famous paintings, and experience the beauty that captivated both Monet and Alexandra. [40km, Get Directions]
