Activity itinerary

Paris
  • 3h 30m
Departure from Paris Your private driver will pick you up at the hotel for a scenic journey through Normandy’s rolling countryside. Settle comfortably in your sedan or minivan and enjoy a peaceful morning drive with views of quaint villages, frosty fields, and coastal landscapes slowly coming to life.
Etretat
  • 1h
Guided Walking Tour of Étretat Cliffs Arrive at the dramatic Étretat Cliffs, one of France’s most breathtaking natural landmarks. Your guide will lead you along the coastal paths to the iconic Porte d’Aval arch, the slender Needle rock, and stunning panoramic viewpoints overlooking the English Channel. Experience the crisp sea air and hear stories about Monet, who painted these cliffs in winter light.
Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde
  • 30m
Panoramic Stop at Notre-Dame de la Garde Chapel Take in sweeping coastal views and capture postcard-perfect photos of the cliffs and sea framed by winter skies.
L'Œil du Panda
  • 40m
Optional Visit to L’Œil du Panda. Visit L’Œil du Panda, also known as the Grotto of Love — a hidden natural arch nestled between the cliffs, shaped by the sea and wind over centuries. In winter, its quiet beauty is even more striking: gentle waves echo inside the grotto, and the rugged rock formations frame glimpses of the gray-blue horizon. The spot offers a peaceful, almost poetic view of the Norman coast — a place where sea, stone, and sky meet in perfect harmony.
Etretat
  • 2h
Winter Picnic Experience Relax and warm up with a cozy outdoor winter picnic, beautifully set against the backdrop of the sea. Enjoy comforting hot drinks (tea, coffee, or mulled wine), homemade soup, fresh pastries, and seasonal fruits.
Paris
  • 3h 30m
Return Drive to Paris As the sun sets over Normandy, settle into your private vehicle for a relaxing drive back to Paris. The evening lights and soft background music create the perfect ending to your coastal escape.
