Excursion to Normandy? Is it worth it for 1 day from Paris?
I'm flying to Paris for a week. I am going to go to Normandy (Honfleur, Deauville) for one day, they say it is fabulously beautiful there. But I doubt if I will have enough time for excursions and shopping in Paris. I am flying to Paris for the first time. Experts answer.

Costs! Romantic towns, smells of the sea... Legendary seaside resorts of the early 20th century, easily accessible from Paris by TGV.
You have to go, wander, breathe in the freshness of the sea, push the horizons. And new facets of France will be remembered.

The most difficult question! For someone in Paris, even 2 weeks is not enough to inspect everything, but for someone, even 3 days is enough. Maybe it’s worth arranging on the spot. It’s beautiful not only in the region where you are going, but also in many others. First, Paris, then Versailles, you can and should see different castles, and there are also a lot of them. This is not an answer, but food for thought.

The train goes from Saint Lazare station (Saint Lasare is the 8th district of Paris, Saint Lazare metro station), on the way 1 hour - and you are in Rouen, the capital of Normandy. He, like Paris, stands on the Seine, but it is much wider here, because the sea is nearby.
Ticket - about 20 euros.
DON'T MISS in Rouen: the famous cathedral, the highest of the Gothic buildings in France (by the way, he once inspired Claude Monet for a whole series of paintings!), the clock, the tower of Jeanne d'Arc.

Yes, as an idea - after the previous advice: it's worth a trip to Giverny, where Monet comes from. Fortunately, the train goes there from the same Saint Lazare station, an hour and a half on the way. The places are beautiful, especially in spring (the garden at Giverny is among the most popular places in Normandy).

Many thanks for the helpful and detailed answer. I will definitely use it. Maybe you can tell me what you should definitely see in Paris, and what if there is time left?

three days ago we returned from paris 6 days. seems to have seen everything .. depending on where you have a hotel, you can start sightseeing from this.. to save time, I recommend the morning starting with the Sacré Coeur on Montmarte. firstly, this is the highest point and you can see the whole paris and suburbs in clear weather, inspection, photo, and visiting inside (free) will take an hour, from there walk down the streets (souvenir shops) and after 15 minutes you are on Pigalle Boulevard - to the right The famous sexodrome, red-light district and approach the Moulin Rush, stand with your back in the Moulin Rush, start walking along the old Paris, go down the little-known cathedral and go to the Opera. then the square of justice and go to the Champs Elysees near the square of Concordia.
on the left is the Louvre, on the right is the same field to the Arc de Triomphe itself. the entire hike from top to bottom on foot is no more than an hour, plus add time to the photo or something else
you can go left to the Louvre and go into it and spend 4-5 hours on it (you still can’t see it in a day, choose those halls to which your soul lies ..
(I recommend the sculptures and the 2nd floor above them) after leaving the Louvre, go behind it, as if continuing to move in the same direction where you walked along the Seine and you will come to Notre Dame

it can be bypassed from all sides ... and at 17-00 the service inside begins .. the entrance is free and free .. and there is still at 18-45. since it will already be in the evening, you can take a boat here and it will take you along the hay to the Eiffel Tower, and get off there
we liked it more in the evening when illuminated than during the day .. and from there return to the hotel, and already having an idea of the scale and distances on the map of Paris, plan a route for the next day

You can not go to Versailles if a little time is not very impressive, but it takes a lot of time. The most beautiful thing is the gardens! but good weather

A trip to Normandy in France left an indelible impression. If it’s relevant to anyone, I strongly recommend contacting Anna, a girl living in Paris, she organized and conducted an amazing tour for us. And then she brought us to the ocean coast, where we ourselves collected oysters from the rocks and drank real champagne (which, by the way, costs 3 kopecks in France). You can contact Anna by e-mail [email protected]

I did not have time to go to Normandy, there was not enough time. Champagne drinking. Real champagne is very expensive! I bought it in a famous wine shop in Paris. I really don't remember the name. But this store is 200 years old. And there are numerous bottles of champagne on the shelves, and champagne on the lower shelves, but, as you say, for 3 kopecks. When I asked where such a difference in price came from, the answer was: this is carbonated wine. This is what we sell. And it has nothing to do with real champagne. For general development, I recommend looking at the production of real champagne on the Internet. Impressive. And then you will understand that it cannot be cheap anywhere.

Thanks to Daniela for Anna's recommendation, the excursion to Normandy with her was unforgettable, we visited Rouen, Deauville, Trouville and Honfleur. In Trouville, we were at a seafood fair - we tried everything our heart desires, how delicious it was. And we dined in a small charming village in a nice restaurant that has a Michelin star. Only 32 Euro per person and we enjoyed real French cuisine of indescribable quality. In Honfleur, we visited a tasting of Calvados - my husband was delighted. Be sure to visit this corner of France and contact Anna - [email protected]
