From Versailles (near Paris) we head South, follow the Loire for a while and marvel at some of the countless châteaux which are lined up along the river. Then we reach the Atlantic coast and Brittany with its Celtic heritage. Carnac is famous for its megalith culture and stones that were put upright more than 6,000 years ago. Along Brittany’s wild coast and across its scenic interior, we circle around the peninsula and see highlights such as the pink granite coast and St. Malo with its huge ramparts.
Past Mont St. Michel in the Wadden sea, we reach Normandy and the city of Bayeux. Here, at the beaches of Normandy, where Allied forces liberated Europe in 1944. Today countless historic sites attract visitors from around the globe.
The wealth of history and culture in Northern France are second to none!
