Escape the city for a day of pure beauty and tranquility! Your private driver-guide will pick you up directly from your Paris hotel in a luxury vehicle.
We’ll begin with a scenic drive through Normandy’s countryside to the dramatic cliffs of Étretat. Take in the stunning sea views, walk along the famous arches and needle rock formations, and snap photos where Monet himself painted.
Then, settle down for a curated gourmet picnic on the cliffs — think French cheeses, fresh baguette, seasonal fruits, pastries, and a bottle of chilled wine, all set up just for you.
