About the trip

This eight-night tour by G Adventures traces a route from Paris's historic core to the Normandy coast, with detours into the Loire Valley’s cave dwellings and graceful châteaux. The trip includes visits to the Monet Gardens at Giverny, a sustainable cider farm tasting, and a day at Mont-Saint-Michel, where the rising tides shape the island’s silhouette.

In Bayeux, travellers get a gentle introduction to the region’s wartime past with a memorial visit and a short town orientation walk. The itinerary offers plenty of walking and a canoe trip on the Cher River, giving a different perspective of the countryside. Throughout, two National Geographic Expedition Leaders and local guides provide orientation and facilitate included experiences without overshadowing the chance to quietly take in the details like the winding hedge maze of Château de Chenonceau.

Accommodation is in centrally located hotels that reflect the character of the regions visited, often in older buildings where stairs replace lifts. The pace suits families who appreciate historical depth alongside a few moments to breathe in the French countryside.
