Itinerary
7 h
We begin with a scenic drive from Paris in a comfortable business-class Peugeot 508 RXH, arriving in Étretat around 10:30. You'll explore the legendary Falaise d'Aval, with its iconic elephant arch and the Needle Rock rising straight from the sea, the very view immortalized by Claude Monet. I'll photograph you and the landscapes with my professional Nikon DSLR, and in good weather I'll capture aerial footage with a DJI Neo 2 drone in 4K 60fps, included free. We then climb to the Falaise d'Amont for a sweeping panorama of the entire bay, with an optional visit to the famous cliffside art garden by Alexandre Grivko (tickets extra). At midday, we stop for lunch at a seaside restaurant serving fresh Norman seafood, and I'll be happy to help you choose. All photos and videos are transferred to you via WeTransfer at the end of the day.
3 h
We arrive in Rouen around 15:00 for a walking tour through one of France's best-preserved medieval cities. We start at the grand City Hall and the Abbey of Saint-Ouen, a masterpiece of Norman Gothic architecture with soaring vaults and stunning stained glass. We then wander through centuries-old half-timbered streets before reaching the Aître Saint-Maclou, a remarkably eerie former ossuary where plague victims were buried in the Middle Ages. Nearby stands the Church of Saint-Maclou, one of the finest examples of Flamboyant Gothic in all of France. The highlight is the Notre-Dame Cathedral, which inspired Monet's famous series of paintings, where we also discuss the story of Joan of Arc and her deep connection to Rouen. We stroll along the Gros-Horloge street, home to a magnificent astronomical clock standing for over six centuries. The tour ends at the Old Market Square and the Church of Joan of Arc, with a final surprise: a hidden gem few visitors ever discover.
