From London to Paris via the Channel Islands & Normandy
August 24 - September 3, 2023 | Maximum Group Size: 15 Participants | Availability: Open
The Normandy Beaches
Medieval cities, charming small towns, Gothic cathedrals—we’ll experience all this and more, in a journey that crosses the English Channel, taking us from London to the islands of Jersey and Guernsey, across the beaches of Normandy, to the beauty of Monet’s gardens and the elegance of Parisian boulevards.
We’ll begin our tour in London for time to explore the city before taking the short flight to the beautiful shores of Jersey, Britain’s southernmost Channel Island and a quiet haven from the bustling world around. We’ll also take in the sights of its sister island, Guernsey. These lovely islands offer a range of experiences, from wildlife sanctuaries to military museums to breathtaking scenery. From here, we take a ferry to the northern coast of France, stopping to explore magnificent Mont St.-Michel, one of the wonders of the Western world.
St. Peter Port, Guernsey
We’ll explore the beaches at Normandy, with time also to view the extraordinary tapestry at Bayeux. Then it’s off to Paris, the City of Light, and the heady excitement of one of the world’s great romantic cities—with a local guide to introduce the splendors of Notre-Dame, Sacré-Coeur, and the Louvre, and free time to follow your own interests. It’s a visit that spans a spectrum of experiences—from the drama of medieval villages, to the broad vistas of seaside towns, to the cosmopolitan beauty of city life, with all of their attendant architectural, artistic, and gastronomic masterpieces—truly a feast for the senses!
