You step off the gangway at Le Havre and into a luxury car waiting to take you inland: open motorways, patches of Normandy farmland, and the approach to Paris unfolding like an urban expanse. The drive itself is part of the day—roughly 200 km (about 125 miles) and typically 2–2.5 hours each way—so expect highway views to bookend your city time.
