Best day trips from Paris
Paris is magical with all its monuments and good restaurants , but sometimes it can be so crowded that you spend all your time
waiting to go and visit a museum or get in a resturant.
If you are planning to spend some days in Paris, i recommend you to escape the
city for 1 day to another place where you can enjoy the beautiful nature, terrific castles and unforgettable experiences. You can go there in the morning
and come back in the evenning.
Here some places where to go in a one day trip not far from Paris.
Giverny
This is the perfect place where it's worth going for half a day from Paris. Giverny is the village where Claude Monet lived for 40 years, you will get to get in his house and explore it, but as well Monet's gardens
where you'll find more than 100 varieties of flowers and trees and also the famous water lily pond.
If you are a fan of nature then Giverny must be in your bucket list.
My recommendation is to plan a guided tour with a group from Paris for a half a day.
Mont Saint Michel
Mont Saint Michel is the second destination most visited in France after Paris. it is situated on a small tidal island between
Normandy and Brittany, and it's one of the incredible Gothic architectures in Europe, with its 155 meters above the sea.
The best thing to do in Mont Saint michel is to walk in the medieval main street and visit its abbey and enjoy its unforgettable view.
Exploring this pilgrimage site and its baie with a local guide is something that you shoudln't miss.
Disneyland Paris
If you are a disney fan, then Disneyland Paris is one of things that you have to do during your trip to Paris. Situated in the suburbs of Paris,
this attraction is the number one most visited in France.
There are 2 parks with endless attractions, the Disneyland park where you'll find space mountain and Hoolywood tower, and Walt Disney Studios Park with
many attractions for kids of all ages.
The best way to go there is to take the train from Paris (RER A). And if you want to save time, then go there early in the morning and
buy your tickets in advance.
Normandy Beaches
Besides Giverny and Mont Saint michel listed before, Normandy region is also well-known for its five magnificent beaches, each one offers its
own unique experience.
There are many other things to visit there like museums and the famous Normandy American Cemetery.
You should plan at least 1 full day or 2 days there to explore the beauty of the area and wander around the best french beaches.
Etretat
This beautiful seaside town called Etretat which is located in northern France, is famous for its white cliffs,
the cliffs that inspired many painters and photographs like Claude Monet.
It attracts visitors from all over the world, and this is one of the best destinaions for parisians during summer time.
Etretat is a perfect destination for a 1 day trip, it will stun you with its charm and its 7 gardens full of modern artwork.
