Itinerary
We will meet at the airport at 4.00am for our KM Malta Airlines flight to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport departing at 6.00am. On arrival at 9.00am, our coach will take us to the medieval city of Rouen. We will walk through the old town centre, where we shall see the Cathedral, the 14th century courthouse where Joan of Arc was sentenced to death and the Market Square. We will have some free time, before returning to Caen to check-in at our 3-star Campanile Caen Centre Gare in Caen.
Today’s full-day excursion will take us to the beautiful sights on the Island of Mont Saint Michel, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and undoubtedly one of Normandy’s most spectacular attractions that includes the well-preserved abbey, from which the island takes its name. There is substantial number of steps to reach the abbey. After we explore the abbey’s ramparts (extra), the island’s museum, we we shall have time to browse the local shops.
Another full-day excursion takes us to Honfleur and Étretat. Honfleur offers a unique heritage which can be best glimpsed by strolling along this little maritime city that has somehow escaped the ravages of time, making it one of the most visited towns in France. Honfleur has succeeded in making the most of its rich historical and artistic heritage. We will then proceed to Étretat, where the sea passes under the limestone arches that make the resort famous. We have time to admire the splendid view of the sea and its magnificent beach and cliffs.
Our coach will take us to our full-day excursion where we will first go to Lisieux. The simple and humble way St. Therese of Lisieux lived her life draws many people to this wonderful shrine. We see the Carmelite convent, the Cathedral, and the Basilica. Then, we shall go on foot to explore the city of Caen. This town boasts of two abbeys: the Abbey Aux Hommes and the Abbey aux Dames. It was precisely here that William the Conqueror chose to reside. The soul of this historically rich city today is found nestled in the ancient quarters of its centre with narrow streets lined with lively shops, a marina right in the heart of the city and an array of parks and gardens. The rest of the afternoon is free, or one can go to Caen Memorial Museum (extra) - this peace memorial is a must-see, retelling an hour-by-hour account of D-Day.
We shall check-out from our hotel, and have the morning free for personal sightseeing. Later, we board our coach to go to Paris Orly Airport for our return KM Malta Airlines flight departing at 5.30pm and arriving in Malta at 8.10pm.
