PERSONAL NORMANDY TRIP PLANNING

Normandy, with time to take it in.

Time at Omaha Beach and the Normandy American Cemetery. Bayeux's old streets, a good meal and a day without a schedule. Fred connects the details, with one comfortable hotel to return to each evening.

ONE PERSON TO BRING IT TOGETHER

A thoughtful stay, without all the arranging.

Your hotel, visits, meals and journeys should work together. Fred is your personal point of contact, from the first ideas to the questions that come up while you are away.

A Bayeux address that suits you

We choose your hotel and room around your preferred style, walking comfort and plans. Once you approve the proposal, we arrange the agreed stays, visits and transport.

Three choices for every meal

For each lunch and dinner, you receive three restaurant suggestions matched to your tastes, budget and day's route. Pick your favorites and we handle approved reservation requests. Meals, drinks and restaurant deposits are separate unless expressly included.

A welcome over coffee, included

A Chic Trip host or local partner meets you over coffee to help you settle in and find your bearings. This local welcome is included; we agree the place and timing with you.

Your app, and a person to ask

Your itinerary and reservations are gathered in the Chic Trip app. Fred is available 24/7 by message during your trip for any question or request. You can also start by phone or email, and keep your programme as a PDF.

The exact arrangements, total and booking conditions are put in writing. Nothing is booked until you approve.

FEWER STOPS, MORE TIME IN EACH PLACE

History on the coast. Life in Bayeux.

This stay gives each part of Normandy its own day. There is time to understand what you are seeing, and time simply to enjoy being here.

A focused D-Day day

Omaha Beach and the Normandy American Cemetery

Keep the day to these two stops, with space for the stories that matter to you and time for reflection. Tell Fred about any family connection or particular interest so we can shape the day with care.

Guiding and transport are proposed for your dates, with the arrangements and cost confirmed in your quote. No particular guide, ceremony or special access is promised.

A day to get to know Bayeux

Old streets, the cathedral and your choice of culture

Explore the historic center at a comfortable pace, with cathedral access checked around services. If you would enjoy the MAHB Museum of Art and History, we can consider it in place of part of the walk, with the visit arrangements confirmed first.

Your Bayeux day does not include the Tapestry. A selected museum is a choice for this day, not an extra added to your free day.

One hotel, four settled nights

The exact Bayeux address matters for dinner, walking and your arrival connection. We check room access, steps or lifts and luggage arrangements before you choose. A central address alone does not guarantee a step-free stay.

Plan the connection between the D-Day stops

Omaha Beach and the cemetery are separate stops. The direct path from the cemetery to the beach is closed to visitors, so we plan the road connection. We also check entry arrangements, walking comfort and the weather for your dates.

Give travel days their own space

We plan from your actual station or airport to your Bayeux hotel, not just a train timetable. Your arrival, luggage and departure connection come first. This is a stay in Normandy, not a D-Day day trip from Paris.

Your free day stays free. A slow breakfast, another walk or no plan at all: it is yours. If you want to add an organized visit, we discuss a revised programme and quote first.

Already have a hotel or train booking?

Share the dates, addresses and reservations you want to keep. Fred can organize the rest around them, with our service fee and any new arrangements clearly separated in your proposal.

  2. Day 2 Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery
  3. Day 3 Bayeux culture, with time to pause
  4. Day 4 A full day entirely at your own pace

Your tailored quote

Choose the hotel style that feels right: Charm, Signature or Exceptional. We prepare a personal quote around your dates, rooms, selected visits and transport, taking your preferred budget into account.

  • Charm
  • Signature
  • Exceptional

This example has no fixed package price. Your written quote confirms the total, inclusions and booking conditions before you commit.

Discuss my stay and budget

Mont-Saint-Michel, Honfleur and Rouen are not included. We can discuss a separate extension or a different route, with the extra time, connections and cost agreed together. They are not automatically added to your free day.

Keep the programme as a PDF to read at leisure. It is inspiration for your trip, not a booking confirmation.

A few things worth knowing.

How long is the Normandy example, and where do we stay?

The example is five days and four nights, all in one Bayeux hotel. Arrival and departure are travel days, with one focused D-Day day, one Bayeux culture day and one entirely free day between them. There is no hotel change. We can adapt the duration and pace to your plans.

Is the Bayeux Tapestry included?

No. Checked October 22, 2026: the Bayeux Tapestry Museum says it is closed for renovation until autumn 2027. The Tapestry is not included in this stay. Bayeux's historic center, cathedral and a selected museum can shape the cultural day instead. For a later trip, we check the reopening arrangements before proposing a Tapestry visit; reopening is not guaranteed by this programme.

What does the D-Day day cover?

The example focuses on Omaha Beach and the Normandy American Cemetery, rather than all the landing beaches. Guiding and transport are proposed for your dates and confirmed with their cost in your quote. We check entry arrangements and your walking comfort. The direct cemetery-to-beach path is closed to visitors, so the two stops need a road connection. No ceremony or special access is promised.

Is this a Normandy day trip from Paris?

No. This example includes four nights in Bayeux, giving the coast and the town separate days. We plan your arrival and departure around the station or airport you actually use. If you want to keep a Paris hotel and visit Normandy for the day, tell Fred: that is a different, more focused plan with its own travel arrangements and quote.

How much does this Normandy stay cost?

There is no fixed package price for this example. Charm, Signature and Exceptional are hotel styles, each quoted around your dates, room choices, visits and transport. Your written proposal confirms the total, inclusions and booking conditions before you commit. An estimate from a planning tool using your own assumptions is not a quote for this stay.

Can we add Mont-Saint-Michel, Honfleur or Rouen?

We can discuss them as a separate extension or a revised route. They are not included in this five-day example, and the free day remains open. We agree the extra time, connections, hotel changes if needed and cost before booking, with your arrival and departure plans in mind.
