Classic Normandy
Drive west from Giverny, connecting Rouen, the Alabaster Coast, Honfleur, the D-Day Landing Beaches, and Mont Saint-Michel.
This is the classic Normandy route used by most travel guides, driving from east to west without backtracking, taking about a week. The first part covers Impressionism and medieval towns, the middle section follows the coast, the latter part dedicates two days to the D-Day Landing Beaches, and the trip ends with an overnight stay at the foot of Mont Saint-Michel. Staying in five different locations, it is ideal for first-time visitors who can drive. Drop off your rental car at Rennes and take the TGV high-speed train back to Paris to avoid a long drive back.
Monet's Gardens in Giverny are usually closed from November to March; other attractions can be visited in winter.
