Add an ExtensionWhile most walking tours of Normandy and Brittany miss out on the magic of the Cotentin Peninsula, this Country Walkers tour brings you its spectacular coastal scenery during a two-night stay at a charming waterfront hotel. Along the way, you’ll traverse the scenic wind-swept dunes of the Norman coast—pausing to pay an inspirational visit to the historic site of the D-day landings with a local guide. Explore the impressive cliffs of Étretat—the inspiration behind many of Monet’s Impressionist paintings. Venture into Brittany for a scenic seaside stroll along unique tidal plains towards Mont St. Michel. Explore this splendid island monastery with a local guide—winding your way through charming medieval back streets to the door of its 8th-century Benedictine abbey. During a two-night stay in historic St. Malo, you’ll experience the best of Brittany—including exquisitely fresh seafood, pristine sandy beaches, and ancient streets that showcase the rich history of this vibrant coastal region.

Pullman Paris Montparnasse
Fantastic tour of Normandy and Brittany. Gorgeous scenery on our hikes. Great day at the WWII sites with one of the best guides we have ever had - Guillaume. He had a wealth of knowledge and I could have listened to him all day. Our Country Walkers guides Sophie and Bruno could not have been nicer or more helpful. They were very informative and had a great sense of humor. Loved every place we visited. Food was absolutely delicious especially our included dinners. Of course, we had spectacular weather, so that really helped. Highly recommend this trip.
