This tour is the perfect recipe for the winter blues! First, you are invigorated by the sea breeze and the stunning views of the cliffs. The picnic on the shore isn't just a meal; it's a real adventure for all the senses. Then you plunge into the warm, glowing ball of Rouen. Wandering its streets, looking at the shop windows and half-timbered houses decorated with garlands is incredible. The Christmas market is a story in itself! So many delicious and interesting things. We fell in love with this city and this day. A special respect to the guide for flexibility – we could linger where we liked more. And the personal driver was a savior after a long day of walking.

This isn't just a sightseeing tour; it's a full immersion into the winter atmosphere of Normandy. We started with a picnic by the ocean – and it was the most stylish and soulful picnic of my life! Hot tea, excellent food, cozy blankets, and not a soul around, just you and the elements. Then we were treated to Rouen, which in December turns into a setting for a Christmas fairy tale. The lights, the music, the smells... We visited all 70 chalets at the market and never got tired! The guide showed us not only the main spots but also small, hidden courtyards. A huge thank you for this perfectly planned day that gave us a feeling of a real holiday.

If you want to experience a real Norman winter – this is for you! The contrast between the power of the coastal cliffs with their icy wind and the warm, festive atmosphere of Rouen is simply brilliant. The picnic was organized with amazing attention to detail – you could feel that we were truly cared for. And Rouen... It's a city that looks simply magical at Christmas! We drank hot cider at the market, ate the best waffles of our lives, and listened to Christmas carols in the square in front of the cathedral. The guide was a wonderful storyteller who brought the history of Joan of Arc to life for us. The day flew by, and we returned to Paris with bags full of gifts and hearts full of joy.

This tour was the best thing that could have happened to us in the pre-Christmas season! It combined everything: the harsh beauty of the coast and the coziness of an ancient city. The picnic by the cliffs was incredibly romantic: a stylish table, warm blankets, a thermos of fragrant mulled wine, and a basket of such delicious treats that you'd lick your fingers clean! Sitting there listening to the seagulls and watching the raging ocean was pure magic. And then we were treated to Rouen! The city was decorated with garlands, the air smelled of cinnamon and roasted chestnuts everywhere. The guide led us through the mysterious medieval streets, and at the Christmas market, we bought so many gifts we could barely carry them! This day was like a festive postcard come to life.
