About the trip

This four-night solo traveller tour with Riviera Travel unfolds in Normandy, beginning in the medieval town of Lisieux, known for Calvados brandy. The following day visits one of the D-Day landing sites, Gold Beach, and nearby Arromanches, where remnants of wartime Mulberry harbours remain visible along the coast. \n\nRouen, the capital of Normandy, offers a guided walking tour including its Gothic Notre-Dame Cathedral, Monet’s famously painted subject, and the old marketplace linked to Joan of Arc’s execution. Afterwards, there’s time to explore the city's shops or museums at leisure. The coastal port of Honfleur is visited next, its harbour lined with pastel eighteenth-century buildings and artists at work. A cider tasting at an organic producer introduces the region’s cider and cheeses, including Camembert and Livarot. \n\nThe tour finishes with a morning at Monet’s gardens in Giverny, where the watery lily ponds that inspired his series of paintings are found, before returning via Paris to London. Stepping into each place reveals details: orchards along the Cider Route, cobalt-blue cathedral glass, or the particular arrangement of pastel houses in Honfleur that caught the eye of the Impressionists.
