Paris, Then the Coast

City first, sea after: the Left Bank on foot for three nights, then a slow drive west to a cottage above the cliffs, where the evenings are about oysters and the light.

The shape of the trip

  1. Outbound · 1h 30m

    Dover – Calais

  2. 3h 40m drive from Calais

    Paris

    3 nights · Hôtel du Luxembourg

    The drive from the Normandy coast is short enough to make Paris a stop on a road trip rather than the whole point of it. Arrive on a Sunday and the boulevards are yours.

  3. 2h 35m drive from Paris

    Normandy

    3 nights · Cliff Top Cottages

    Wide skies and an unhurried coast road: Honfleur's harbour, the cliffs at Étretat and orchard country inland where the cider is still made by hand.

  4. Return · Dover – Calais

    3h 10m drive to the port
