A charming port town in Normandy at the point where the Seine meets the English Channel, Le Havre is your gateway to major French cities like Paris, Rouen, and beyond. However, it’s also a fantastic destination to visit in its own right, with a fascinating selection of museums to explore, nearby beaches to spend time admiring the coastal scenery, and a culinary landscape that will not disappoint.

Saint-Malo is a historic Breton port enclosed by massive granite ramparts that once shielded a city of corsairs and privateers. Inside the walls, the "Intra Muros" district features a maze of cobbled streets and tall stone mansions, meticulously rebuilt after the devastation of WWII to preserve its medieval soul. Beyond the architecture, the city is defined by the sea; it experiences some of Europe’s most dramatic tides, which transform the landscape twice a day. At low water, sandy causeways emerge to reveal hidden paths to offshore fortresses and the island of Grand Bé, the final resting place of the writer Chateaubriand. This blend of pirate legends, maritime resilience, and the sheer power of the Atlantic makes Saint-Malo one of France’s most atmospheric coastal escapes.
