Add an ExtensionAs you step onto the causeway, the Benedictine monastery of Mont St. Michel rises like a pyramid from the sand flats ahead, its steeple piercing the midday sky. So continues the line-up of iconic sights on this Normandy and Brittany walking tour along France’s spectacular north coast. One day, you’re wandering Étretat’s seaside bluffs, taking in the spectacular rock arches straight out of a Monet painting. The next, your guide is bringing World War II history alive on the sands of Omaha Beach. Along the way, decadent picnics featuring local cheeses, pastries, and cider, as well as meals in out-of-the-way restaurants, showcase the breadth of Norman and Breton cuisine. A walk across tidal flats leads to hidden nesting grounds for egrets, ducks, and marine seagulls. Best of all: you’re exploring with warm and welcoming locals who call this exceptional region home.

Hôtel Splendid Étoile
This is a wonderful walk, with many beautiful sights along the Normandy coast. The two guides are outstanding, with each one having different areas of expertise. There were a couple of long walk days, but there was plenty of variety in terms of the type of path, sights to see, etc. The D-Day site visit is an extraordinary window into the scale and consequences of the invasion and we saw many other signs along the coast of the long German occupation. Mont St. Michel and the Bayeux tapestry are essential. We all agreed that the Tapestry was especially fascinating. The…
France: Normandy & Brittany
All the travel arrangements were top notch. The hotels were wonderful, the meals and snacks were perfect, the bus rides were comfortable, the trip was well thought out.

She also traveled extensively in her youth throughout Africa before returning to France where she received a Master’s degree in Geography and Geomorphology. She is a certified guide who has been leading people throughout the Alps for more than 25 years and has also led groups along the Norman coast when not sailing that same coast herself! An avid hiker and skier, Claire’s enthusiasm extends to the impressionist painters whose artistic movement was born in Le Havre, as well as French literature, architecture, and gastronomy.
