3-Day Normandy Itinerary: Etretat, Honfleur, Deauville

[@carolshannon6449]

Not only do you do a fabulous job of showing people great places to go, eat, etc, in France, but it's just such a pleasure to see such a happy family enjoying these things. I hope you show us not only all of France, but other places too! And the videos are also very well made.

[@maobfh]

This is, hands down, the best tourism series for Normandy that I have ever seen. I have always felt that I SHOULD go and now I really want to go and I can’t wait! You guys are AWESOME!

[@donnamorrison7467]

I love your Paris videos but your trips to other parts of France are equally enjoyable. You helped me see that Normandy is worth a visit. Thank you.

[@jeanwhite2705]

Oh thank you to all of you, Colleen and Antoine and also to your son and Vincent too. We so enjoyed seeing that there is so much more to the Normandy region than the soberness of the D-day beaches. This video was absolutely wonderful, like being invited along with you on a family picnic. Well we’ll done. Loved the side car ride!

[@claudetteleblanc5273]

Bonjour! You have a nice family. Thanks for showing us such beautiful places. 🧡💛💚💙

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

Our pleasure!

[@marylinda]

You know what's even more beautiful - your relationship. It's just so nice to witness your joy. Thank you for giving your time to make these videos. Hopefully, I can go to France soon.

[@hildabrunski7400]

Fantastico vlog Les Frenchies! We love how you visit a few villages and towns. It really gives us a perspective of other parts of France outside of Paris!

[@marineaghekyan441]

I feel you are my friends now. Can’t wait to see you, learn from you, and enjoy you guys. You are amazing people.

I studied abroad in Rouen in 2011, taking excursions around the area with my group. I also lived and worked in Évreux from 2013-2014. La Normandie is a region very near and dear to my heart! J'adore la Normandie! ❤

I would love to try that Calvados! Also the lunch you all had, oh wow! Last spending an afternoon in that garden would complete a perfect day. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾💃🏽

Sante!!! I found Calvados very potent - though it is tradition in my family to have a calvados after their Sunday meal.

Best video yet from a whole bunch of excellent videos. Brittany next?

[@claire-janehawkins5883]

Really good video, we are coming over to Normandy from the UK in June in our motorhome, Étretat looks beautiful will definitely have a look around there. Honfleur is beautiful went there about 8 years ago, thank you for sharing.

[@erickflorendo1157]

Great episode, our hotel front desk person in Paris recommended Honfleur years ago. Your helpful information on this area makes these places likely future destinations. Much appreciation for your hints. Be safe and well...

[@deenaparker8689]

Thank you so much for your delightful videos. I went to Normandy and Brittany 30 years ago and saw some of these sites but will be heading back there for two weeks later this year with my boyfriend who has never been. I’ve picked up so many pointers and recommendations from you for my trip. Very well done and super informative! I’ve been watching a lot of your video…

It's so nice there. We have a new Normandy video (with our soldier age son) coming out soon.

I’m going to Paris in October later this year. It would be my 6th time to visit but I’ve never heard of Honfleur - until now. Thanks for featuring this amazing place. I’ve started to do my research on how to get there by rail. I’m looking forward to watching ALL your videos as you’re doing such a great job.

[@maximac222]

Just found ya! We have a 1 day port of call at Le Harve on an upcoming transatlantic cruise. I know we are going to be disappointed to get back on that ship as we are not going to have enough time! Thank you for this wonderful tour! I'm looking forward to our quick stop!

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

Bon voyage!

[@halliebass]

Have never been to Honfleur but I have heard of it. The sidecar tour looked fun! Deauville looks kind of neat for people watching. The food looks good. One of these days I will get to travel again.

[@irenemulcahy2495]

Always wanted to visit Honfleur thankyou so much for your tour.

I can't wait to see that jardin!! One day....

[@TheTangofrog]

Thanks guys!

[@jimreilly917]

Thanks for taking me where I’d never get to go. Outstanding. Without France there’d be no USA…just another British colony. I’m biased because I’m American of Irish grandparents and live in St. Louis, founded by theFrench as a trading post in the 1730s. Great video 🇺🇸🇫🇷

[@monizdm]

Rouen is also worth so much more than it gets from the usual tours which see the famous clock, Joan of Arc execution site and the cathedral. At least three days to see the other important churches and to sample the restaurants. And then of course Bayeux and Caen. This comment is not a criticism of your great vid, but intended to augment in the event someone is doing a little travel research. N.B. Your videos are a source for me when visiting France, and I have been going there since the 1970s.d Please keep posting and enjoying life.

We are traveling to Normandy in April 2023. We love your Vlogs and have been watching them all in preparation. We’ve been wondering about the availability of public parking in Honfleur and Etretat. Any tips?

L'Etretat cliffs made so famous by Monet. painting them.

[@sherrieshatzen3801]

Another good video. I couldn't help but notice your necklace. I would love to know about it.

[@jtstacey83]

The best advice I can give people is to pay for the extra insurance if renting a car. Many will read horror stories concerning rental companies charging crazy amounts of money for minor scratches weeks later after returning the car. In most cases, the people leaving the reviews skipped the extra insurance. It might cost 10 or 20 euros extra a day but is worth the peace of mind.

Très belle escapade en Normandie ! Et oui la France c’est pas que Paris et la french riviera ou la Provence... heureux que vous fassiez l’éloge de notre nation France en montrant le patrimoine et la beauté incommensurable de ses régions.

Love Honfleur. Deauville is lovely, but Trouville is just as nice and more affordable. We stayed at a hotel on the beach in Trouville for about $120 euros a night. Beautiful room. Plus, the hotel had an indoor and outdoor pool. From Trouville, you can walk to Deauville in under 10 minutes and also take a 30 minute bus ride to Honfleur. We had the best time. Check Trouville out. Thank you for the video. Your videos are very refreshing and they remind of the times I have spent and will spend in France.

Great videos of Normandy. We stayed in Villers Bretonneux and drove around the Somme area and then going to the D Day beaches.The only thing you missed was the D Day Museum Arromanches-les-Bains extremely interesting. The artificial Mulberry harbour was an unbelievable effort in those times, almost impossible these days. Keep up the great work.

I loved this one! My family and I are discussing going to the Normandy region of France to see all that happened during WW2 & world history. And yes, I am very concerned (for myself) to be around too many reminders of death and dying for a week or more. So, I was so happy to see your video about all of the joyful things to see and do while there. I will share this with my family. Thank you for your fabulous videos.

I'm visiting France soon and I was wondering, is it possible to visit Omaha beach and Mont St. Michel in the same day? I might be trying to cram too much into my schedule...

[@jean-claudemuller3199]

I don't think so ! Mont Saint Michel is on the far west of Normandy, you have to leave the car on huge parking lots, it's very crowded, after what you have to take a shuttle bus and depending on when you go you have to schedule it depending on the tide that can, from time to time. separate the Mont from the mainland. Visiting the Abbey starts on the top of the rock with a steep walk to it All this take time, at least a whole day.

[@JD987abc]

Im so happy to see this video. Ill be in Caen for 5 days as part of my one month tour of france. My day excursions from Caen will include Honfleur. I was there in 2003 and loved it. I might have to try that calvados tasting tour. BTW, my flight departs at 9 PM this evening on American Airlines. My first stop will be rue Rambuteau for a week, then on to Saint Malo .
