Program & Itinerary
Seaside Escape from Honfleur
Step off your ship in Honfleur and into a world of seaside elegance, color, and coastal charm on this half‑day private shore excursion along Normandy’s Côte Fleurie. Travel with your English‑speaking driver‑guide in a comfortable, air‑conditioned vehicle designed for small groups, so your experience stays relaxed and personal.
Harbor Life in Trouville‑sur‑Mer
Your first stop is Trouville‑sur‑Mer, a lively fishing port that drew 19th‑century painters and writers long before Deauville became the fashionable address. Stroll the harborfront promenade where colorful boats rise and fall with the tide, vintage seaside posters line the seafront, and the atmosphere still feels authentically Norman.
Fish Market Flavors and Gentle Walking
Visit the bustling fish market, the beating heart of Trouville, where stalls overflow with oysters, mussels, prawns, and other delicacies fresh from the Channel. Breathe in the sea air, watch locals shop for their dinner, and, if you wish, enjoy a casual oyster or shrimp tasting with a glass of crisp Normandy cider at your own expense—all at a gentle walking pace that keeps the outing easy and enjoyable.
Stylish Stroll in Deauville
A short hop across the bridge brings you to Deauville, Trouville’s elegant twin and one of France’s most iconic seaside resorts. Wide boulevards, Belle Époque villas, grand hotels, and colorful beach cabins reveal the resort created for Parisian high society and still loved by film stars and festival‑goers today.
Les Planches and Deauville’s Glamour
Walk the legendary boardwalk Les Planches, lined with wooden cabins bearing the names of Hollywood legends, and admire landmarks such as the Hôtel Barrière Le Normandy and the Casino. As you explore, your guide shares stories of Coco Chanel’s early days in Deauville, the American Film Festival, and how this stretch of coast became known as the “Parisian Riviera” of Normandy.
Free Time to Savor the Côte Fleurie
After your guided walk, enjoy free time in Deauville to make the experience your own—relax over lunch or a drink at a classic brasserie, browse chic boutiques, wander down to the beach, or simply sit on a sunny terrace and watch the waves and promenade glide by. This is your moment to soak up the easygoing elegance and gentle rhythm of life on the Côte Fleurie.
Scenic Coastal Return to Honfleur
At the agreed time, meet your driver‑guide and follow the scenic coastal road back to Honfleur, with sea views and countryside unfolding outside your window. You’ll be dropped off at your ship in plenty of time for embarkation, returning on board with a vivid taste of Normandy’s seaside charm and stories fresh in your mind.
