From east to west, the distance between Giverny and Mont-Saint-Michel is around 3h30 (350km). This makes it difficult to see everything from a single vantage point.<\/p>\n\n<p>We recommend dividing your stay into two or three bases to limit the need for long daily journeys. Here are a few indicative driving times:<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Driving-times-in-Normandy-map-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Driving times in Normandy map\" class=\"wp-image-1019\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>The car is the most practical way to explore Normandy, as many sites are far from train stations. There are some train connections (Paris-Rouen, Paris-Caen, Caen-Bayeux), but public transport to the cliffs of \u00c9tretat, the D-Day landing beaches or the Pays d&#8217;Auge is limited.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"margin-top:8%;margin-bottom:8%\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns inverse box_planif is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column texte_planif is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:58%\">\n<h5 class=\"titre_box\" style=\"padding-top:10px\">OUR ADVICE FOR <span>RENTING A CAR<\/span> IN<span class=\"titre_box_manuscrit\"> Normandy<\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" style=\"font-size:14px\">\n<li>Compare prices on our preferred platform: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/france?a_aid=zigzag&amp;chan=NL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DiscoverCars<\/a> &#8211; one of the best rated sites.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose a <strong>car that is comfortable enough <\/strong>(distances can be long) but <strong>compact<\/strong> (some parking lots and villages are narrow).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Think of the<strong>complete insurance<\/strong> (some roads are tortuous and narrow).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is a lot of demand, <strong>book it early<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column planif-radius-2 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:42%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full voiture_image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"421\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Yport_Normandie-3328.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7241\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Yport_Normandie-3328.png 421w, https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Yport_Normandie-3328-237x300.png 237w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 421px) 100vw, 421px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns planif_bouton is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size\" style=\"font-size:14px\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/france?a_aid=zigzag&amp;amp;chan=NL\" style=\"border-radius:4px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See available cars  <strong>   <\/strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3266 img_fleche\" style=\"width: 16px;  \" src=\"https:\/\/corsicalovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ArrowRight.png\" alt=\"arrow\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/en\/renting-car-france-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See all our tips<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you can see depending on the number of days<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3 days in Normandy<\/h3>\n\n<p>In 3 days, you can discover part of Normandy, but you&#8217;ll have to make a choice. You have two options: concentrate on the C\u00f4te d&#8217;Alb\u00e2tre (\u00c9tretat, Rouen, Honfleur) or on the western sector (D-Day beaches, Bayeux, Mont-Saint-Michel). We strongly advise against combining everything in such a short time, as the distances are vast and the pace too fast.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1 week in Normandy<\/h3>\n\n<p>With 1 week, you can cover the main highlights while maintaining a good pace. It&#8217;s enough to combine \u00c9tretat, Honfleur, the D-Day landing beaches, Bayeux and Mont-Saint-Michel. We recommend you plan two bases: one or two nights around Honfleur, then two or three nights near Bayeux. On the other hand, there will be little time left for Rouen, Giverny or the Pays d&#8217;Auge.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Normandie\/R10b-Beuvron\/i-wx8GqbR\/1\/f4c3b01f\/L\/Beuvron_en_Auge_Normandie-0691-L.jpg\" alt=\"Beuvron-en-Auge\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10 days in Normandy<\/h3>\n\n<p>10 days is a good compromise for discovering the essentials. You can visit Rouen, \u00c9tretat, Honfleur, Deauville, the D-Day landing beaches, Giverny, Bayeux and Mont-Saint-Michel at a leisurely pace. We advise you to plan two or three accommodation bases to avoid spending too much time in the car. You can also include a half-day of relaxation or an excursion in the Pays d&#8217;Auge.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2 weeks in Normandy<\/h3>\n\n<p>It&#8217;s the ideal length of time to explore Normandy in depth. In addition to these must-sees, you can also visit the Suisse Normande, the Cotentin peninsula, the Pays d&#8217;Auge, Granville or the C\u00f4te d&#8217;Alb\u00e2tre in greater depth. This time also allows you to enjoy the local gastronomy, visit cheese dairies and cider mills and stroll through the markets.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Normandie\/4a-Rouen\/i-v7kZvmK\/1\/ed8b13fb\/L\/IMG_4822-L.jpg\" alt=\"Rouen\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3 weeks in Normandy<\/h3>\n\n<p>With 3 weeks, you can really get to know every corner of the region.

Accommodation prices vary greatly according to season and location: seaside resorts like Deauville or Honfleur are more expensive than the hinterland.  <br\/>In the countryside, you&#8217;ll find bed &amp; breakfasts and gites at lower prices.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your desires, interests and goals<\/h3>\n\n<p>Beaches and seaside resorts? History and memory? Gastronomy? Hiking? Your desires have a direct impact on the time you need to enjoy your destination. P<\/p>\n\n<p>Normandy is a very complete region. Among other things, it offers:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Historic sites: D-Day beaches, World War II museums, medieval towns, abbeys, castles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cultural sites: museums, cathedrals, Bayeux Tapestry, Monet Gardens, writers&#8217; houses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Beautiful towns and villages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Beautiful beaches: some with flat pages, others with pebbles and cliffs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hiking: coastal paths, GR21 along the cliffs, Suisse Normande<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gastronomy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Normandie\/R22a-Arromanches\/i-XrT7bCs\/4\/e105a5ba\/L\/arromanches_Normandie-5189-L.jpg\" alt=\"Gold Beach\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visa<\/h3>\n\n<p>France is part of the Schengen area. If your passport is issued by a country outside the Schengen area, the classic tourist visa authorizes you to stay for a maximum of 90 days within a 180-day period in the entire Schengen zone.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weather, conditions, events, closures<\/h3>\n\n<p>The weather can influence your stay in Normandy. The region is known for its oceanic climate, which means frequent showers, even in summer. We recommend you bring a waterproof jacket whatever the season.<\/p>\n\n<p>A few points to bear in mind:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Summer (June to August):<\/strong> the most pleasant period for sightseeing and beaches, but also the busiest. Temperatures fluctuate between 18 and 25\u00b0C. Accommodation is often fully booked, especially on the coast.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spring (April-May):<\/strong> ideal time for Giverny gardens (open from April to October) and cultural visits. The weather is variable but the crowds are smaller.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Autumn (September-October):<\/strong> beautiful colors, lower prices and a calmer atmosphere. It&#8217;s also the season for apples, new cider and mussels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Winter (November to March):<\/strong> some tourist sites reduce their opening hours or close (Monet&#8217;s Gardens close from November to March, most D-Day museums close in January). However, Mont-Saint-Michel and the towns remain accessible. The high winter tides in the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel are a breathtaking sight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Please note: June 6 is the date on which the D-Day landings are commemorated. The ceremonies attract many visitors to the beaches and surrounding towns. If you plan to visit the D-Day landing sites at this time, book your accommodation well in advance.<\/p>\n\n<p>See our article: <a href=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/en\/best-time-visit-normandy-weather\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"13136\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">When to go to Normandy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Normandie\/Honfleur\/i-9B7t4h8\/0\/768041c8\/L\/Honfleur_coucher_soleil-15-L.jpg\" alt=\"Honfleur sunset\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical information<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to get to Normandy<\/h3>\n\n<p>Normandy is easily accessible from Paris.

From the UK, ferries link Portsmouth to Caen-Ouistreham and Dieppe to Newhaven.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"background-color:#ffffff;margin-top:8%;margin-bottom:8%\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\" style=\"max-width:700px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-not-stacked-on-mobile texte_planif has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#009e5721\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column img_icone is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image image_icone\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Normandie-plane.png\" alt=\"Normandie plane\" class=\"wp-image-17648\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:100px;height:100px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Normandie-plane.png 400w, https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Normandie-plane-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Normandie-plane-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Normandie-plane-75x75.png 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center paragraphe_une is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:90%\">\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">It&#8217;s time to book!<br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/skyscanner.pxf.io\/dONaXy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\"><strong>Compare everything:<\/strong> companies, prices, schedules and availability.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting around Normandy<\/h3>\n\n<p>The car remains the most practical way to visit Normandy.

Seasonal shuttles also run to Mont-Saint-Michel from nearby stations (Pontorson, Dol-de-Bretagne).

Choose between the C\u00f4te d&#8217;Alb\u00e2tre (\u00c9tretat, Honfleur, Rouen) or the western sector (D-Day beaches, Bayeux, Mont-Saint-Michel). This short stay is ideal for a first overview.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you visit Normandy without a car?<\/h3>\n\n<p>It&#8217;s possible, but more restrictive. The major towns (Rouen, Caen, Bayeux) are accessible by train. On the other hand, the cliffs of \u00c9tretat, the D-Day beaches and the Pays d&#8217;Auge are difficult to reach by public transport. There are organized excursions from Bayeux and Caen to the D-Day landing sites. We still recommend the car for a flexible visit.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When is the best time to visit Normandy?<\/h3>\n\n<p>The period from May to September offers the best conditions for exploring the region. Summer is the most popular season, but spring and early autumn offer a good compromise between pleasant weather and fewer visitors. In winter, some sites reduce their opening hours, notably the Jardins de Monet, which closes from November to March.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"margin-top:8%;margin-bottom:8%\"
