Lisieux Cathedral & Honfleur | Private Tour | Guide Optional

Overview

The only private excursion from Honfleur and Le Havre combining Lisieux's 12th-century Gothic Cathedral — where Sainte-Thérèse attended mass as a girl and where the judge who condemned Joan of Arc is buried — with Honfleur's medieval harbor, where Impressionism was born on the quay of the Vieux Bassin. Two extraordinary chapters of Normandy in one bucket list day. Your private vehicle travels exclusively for your group, with pickup from Le Havre, Honfleur or Cherbourg — cruise terminal, hotel, train station or airport. With over 15 years of experience organizing shore excursions, your return before the all-aboard time is guaranteed. Faith, art and history — the Norman soul in a single day.
