A cold wind from the Channel greets the coach as it leaves Paris; within an hour the city’s skyline thins into farmland and the map folds open into Normandy’s low, patchworked fields.

Normandy’s coastline was the focal point of the 1944 Allied landings; inland, Rouen’s medieval prosperity and Mont St‑Michel’s monastic legacy reflect centuries of strategic and spiritual importance.
The Mont St‑Michel bay is a sensitive tidal ecosystem; visitors should keep to paths, avoid disturbing wildlife on the flats, and follow local signage to protect fragile habitats.
