We had a great tour in Rouen but unfortunately couldn’t go in cathedral as many places closed on Monday but a good tour nonetheless. We especially enjoyed our driver Dimitri who was good company for the long drive!
This was a wonderful day trip from Paris. David was our guide and he was so kind and knowledgeable. Our driver was amazing too- in Etretat it took him a whole hour to find a parking place. The Cliffs were absolutely beautiful (though a bit challenging to climb to the top for my not so athletic self). But my eight year old loved it. Deauville was a ritzy beach community. Rouen was a beautiful old city and we got to see the Notre Dame there (who knew there are actually 100 Notre Dame’s?) and the cross where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake. Really cool. They even provided a booster seat for our daughter, picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel, and found us a quick dinner restaurant near our hotel because we got back a bit late. Definitely recommend if you want to see what France looks like outside of Paris!
David gave an exceptional tour of all areas we visited. His has a degree in History so he was able to give us in-depth details and connect the past happening to present day. It was a wonderful tour, highly recommend taking it!
