Experience the charm of Normandy in winter — where sea breeze meets Christmas magic — on this private day trip from Paris.
Begin your day with a scenic drive to the Normandy coast, where a cozy winter picnic awaits. Set against dramatic seaside cliffs, the picnic features a stylish setup with a table, blankets, and gourmet French treats: cheeses, charcuterie, fruits, pastries. Sip a hot drink from your thermos as you take in the calm seaside air — a perfect seasonal escape.
After the picnic, continue to Rouen, Normandy’s medieval capital adorned with festive lights. Your local guide will lead you through the city’s landmarks — the Notre-Dame Cathedral, Gros-Horloge clock, and charming half-timbered streets.
At the Rouen Christmas Market, browse 70+ decorated chalets with mulled cider, waffles, and handcrafted gifts. Enjoy the festive ambiance as music fills the air and lights sparkle across the square.

5.00This 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.
