No group, no guide with a flag, no schedule that isn't yours. Your driver returns you to Le Havre in time for our ship — guaranteed. Important: The Palace is closed on Mondays.

A traditional Camembert and Livarot cheese factory, where artisans hand-turn the wheels as they have for centuries. Beuvron-en-Auge, one of France's most beautiful half-timbered villages.

The white chalk cliffs of Étretat are formed by natural sea arches, needle-shaped rocks and striking coastal erosion. The impressive landscape here has inspired many artists, including Monet. Also discover Arsène Lupine, who was known throughout Etretat thanks to his numerous magic tricks and sleight of hand which he shared with local residents. It was also thanks to them that he earned his living, on the one hand by filling his bowler hat with coins left by passers-by enjoying the tricks. After exploring the wild beauty of the Normandy coast, discover the pretty port town of Honfleur near Deauville, a chic seaside resort favored by the rich and famous.

Versailles is arguably the most impressive palace in the country, with extensive landscaped gardens and an ice gallery decorated with jeweled chandeliers.
