Le Havre – 07:00 to 20:00

Having already visited the Normandy Beaches last year, which we consider is the primary attraction in this region, we initially booked a tour to the local fishing village of Honfleur. However, after the long and strenuous tours of the past couple of weeks, Judi really needed a few more days of rest and relaxation, so today was a quiet day.

Judi’s back and hips are complaining, after the strenuous tours of the past few days, so I am heading out on today’s adventure alone. This tour was brilliant, with guided portions and lots of free time for independent exploring and snapping lots of photographs. Judi’s last words were, “Take lots of photos”. Well over 300 photographs and an almost exhausted battery, should be enough.
