To help you organise your trip to Normandy in the best possible way, we have collected and studied for you some itineraries to touch on the most important places in the region and to optimise the time you will have available to visit this fascinating destination.

The recommended period is obviously summer, from June to September. An excellent variant would be to combine Normandy and Brittany in a single trip, in which case plan at least two weeks.
