Discovering the classics of Normandy
What do you think about when hearing Normandy? Right! Oysters, fresh fish, the sea and historical city centers. Discover that all on day one of this trip ☀️
Spend the morning in the city of Rouen
Rouen is the historical capital of Normandy and a must when you're visiting the region. It's quite big so you can easily spend a full day here, strolling through historical alleys and hopping from one authentic bar/terrace to the other. The city is also known for all its antic shops ("brocantes"), the cathedral and a big astrological clock. Oh, and did you know that Disney based its decors in their parks on the houses in Rouen? Reasons enough to pay a visit! 😊 Perfect as a first stop of your trip.
Distances in Normandy are quite big from one spot to another, so you definitely need a car here.
Local fish market & oyster bar
When you say Normandy, you say fresh fish. So what better way to discover this delicious part of the region than by visiting a local fish market? Head to Trouville-sur-Mer and find "Bar Les P'tits Mousses". Hop on their terrace and ask the waiter to surprise you with a mix of fresh seafood. Y-U-M!
Sunset stroll in Trouville-sur-Mer
When the sun starts to set, go out and stroll on the road next to the beach of Trouville-sur-Mer. You'll see locals playing "Jeu de Boules", elderly catching some sunlight and children playing with balls on the beach. Such a lovely and peaceful vibe over here! Craving some fresh mussels? Find a seat on the terrace of "Les Viviers" and you'll get the front-row sea view for free.
