Itinerary
We will meet at the airport at 4.00am for our KM Malta Airlines flight to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport departing at 6.10am. On arrival at 9.10am, we shall start our drive towards the medieval city of Rouen, where we will be based during our trip. We shall have a familiarization walk where we will walk through the old town centre, and see the Cathedral, the courthouse, the place where Joan of Arc was burnt to death and the Market Square with a Church dedicated to her. Afterwards, we will go to check-in at our 4-star Hotel Mercure Rouen Centre Cathédrale in Rouen.
Our first full-day excursion will take us to Bayeux, a medieval city. Bayeux boasts a stunning historic centre with well preserved medieval architecture. Then, our coach will drive us to Caen, and we shall explore the city of Caen on foot. 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, where one can visit the Caen Memorial Museum (entrance extra); this peace memorial is a must-see, retelling an hour-by-hour account of D-Day.
Another full-day excursion takes us first to Honfleur. 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. Later, we head to Deauville, a popular seaside resort for locals and tourists alike.
Today’s full-day excursion will take us to a journey through the history of World War II. First, we shall stop at “The Pointe du Hoc”, 90 feet high cliffs, where 225 Rangers landed on June 6, 1944. We shall later visit one of the D-Day Beaches – Omaha Beach, second beach from the west among the five landing areas of the Normandy Invasion of World War II. We will continue our day of remembrance and stop at Colleville sue Mer to visit the American Cemetry overlooking Omaha Beach, which contains over 9,000 white crosses perfectly aligned on 170 acres.
This morning, we shall check-out from our hotel, and have the morning free. Later, we shall head to Paris for a panoramic city tour, where we shall see, amongst other, Champs Elysees, Arc de Triomphe, Tour Eiffel, Place de la Concorde, L’ Opera and Notre Dame Cathedral. Our coach will then take us to Paris Orly Airport for our return KM Malta Airlines flight departing at 8.55pm and arriving in Malta at 11.35pm.
