7 Day Northern France Itinerary, incl. Paris and Normandy
View itinerary
- Day 1
  Paris Arrival & Orientation
  Start your week in Paris near Luxembourg Gardens. The Hotel des Académies offers a great location within walking distance of major sites. Skip the taxi from Charles de Gaulle airport and take the RER B instead (1 hour, €10.30) to avoid traffic. Take an evening walk along the Seine when the crowds are smaller.
- Day 2
  Paris to Bayeux via Giverny
  Leave Paris early for Giverny. The 1.5-hour drive gets you to Monet's Gardens at opening time (9:30 AM). Visit the water lily ponds first before the tour buses show up. The garden café usually only takes cash. Plan your 3-hour drive to Bayeux to arrive by late afternoon. You'll want to see the famous 70-meter Bayeux Tapestry before it closes at 6:30 PM.
- Day 3
  D-Day Beaches
  Visit Utah Beach, Pointe du Hoc and Omaha Beach today. You'll need sturdy shoes for climbing the German bunkers at Pointe du Hoc. Plan to reach the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer before it closes (5 PM summer, 4 PM winter). Bring food with you since options are limited at the historic sites.
- Day 4
  Mont Saint-Michel
  It's about 1.5 hours from Bayeux to Mont Saint-Michel. Use the mainland parking lot and free shuttle. Check the tide schedule since the causeway can flood. A morning visit helps you beat the crowds. One visitor shared: "Get there before 9 AM and climb straight to the Abbey - you'll have the narrow streets almost to yourself before the tour groups arrive."
- Day 5
  Normandy Countryside & Calvados
  Explore the Pays d'Auge region today. The Spiriterie Française tour takes about 90 minutes. Look for small farms with "cidre fermier" signs instead of the touristy tasting room in Beuvron-en-Auge. The country roads are narrow, so consider booking a guided tour if you plan to taste calvados.
- Day 6
  Coastal Towns & Return to Paris
  Start early in Deauville to enjoy the boardwalk (Les Planches) before crowds arrive. Save Honfleur's harbor for afternoon light to get the best photos. Leave by 4 PM for the 2.5-hour drive back to Paris to avoid rush hour around the Périphérique.
- Day 7
  Paris Departure
  Book afternoon flights if possible. Morning traffic to Charles de Gaulle can be slow and you'll need 3 hours at the airport for international flights. Spend your last morning in the Marais district. It's close to transport and full of great cafes that open early.
