In this adventure, we will take you to Etretat and Honfleur and Mont-Saint-Michel in Normandy, France. You will have the opportunity to witness a variety of landscape that includes coastlines, cliffs, harbors and old towns and ancient monuments. The best way to explore all this spectacular scenery is through walks in the area. This is a family-friendly trip. The walks and hikes are easy to medium level of difficulty. There are alternative options for those who don’t want to take the full hike (for e.g. to hike a part of the cliffs and then spend time on the sea beach by yourself or to leisurely explore the town of Etretat, Honfleur or Mont-Saint-Michel by yourself).
Saturday (27th of May): WALKING IN THE PORT CITY OF HONFLEUR
On the first day, we will discover the charming town of Honfleur through a city walk and a short hike. Located on the Seine estuary, this town is sure to surprise you with its cobbled streets, half-timbered houses and an old harbor lined with magnificent slate-fronted houses. All these combine together in an extraordinarily picturesque setting.
