D-Day beaches, Mont Saint-Michel, Étretat, or Honfleur. Full day from €1 895. Early departure recommended for Mont Saint-Michel.
Your chauffeur picks you up at your Paris address. Drive to Normandy: D-Day beaches in 2h30, Mont Saint-Michel in 3h30.
Your chauffeur drives between sites and waits throughout every stop. No fixed itinerary, no time pressure.
Drive back to Paris, or directly to CDG or Orly if you have an evening flight. Fixed price regardless of return time.
A private Normandy day trip from Paris costs from €1 895 (full day, Mercedes E-Class sedan, up to 3 passengers) or €2 000 (V-Class van, up to 7 passengers). The S-Class premium sedan is available from €2 600. All prices are fixed and include your chauffeur for the entire day, including all waiting time at historical sites.
The D-Day beaches (Omaha, Utah, Gold, Juno, Sword) are approximately 2h30 from central Paris via the A13 motorway (250 to 270 km). Mont Saint-Michel is approximately 3h30 (370 km). Étretat is 2h30 (200 km). A full-day booking (10 to 12 hours) covers the drive there and back with 4 to 6 hours on site.
On a full-day trip from Paris you can visit: the D-Day beaches and American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer (Omaha Beach), Bayeux and its medieval tapestry, the Pointe du Hoc, or Caen Memorial Museum. Alternatively, focus on Étretat for the dramatic chalk cliffs, or combine Honfleur harbour with the Normandy Bridge. Mont Saint-Michel requires a very early departure (6am from Paris) to allow sufficient time on the island.
Yes. Your chauffeur waits for the entire duration of each site visit, whether that is a 30-minute stop at a beach or a 3-hour visit to the Caen Memorial. Waiting time is included in the fixed price with no extra charge. This allows you to take your time at each location without watching the clock.
Not comfortably. The D-Day beaches are 270 km from Paris and Mont Saint-Michel is 370 km, they are also 170 km apart from each other. Combining both in one day would require 7+ hours of driving and leave minimal time at each site. We recommend choosing one focus: D-Day beaches (with time for Bayeux or Pointe du Hoc), or Mont Saint-Michel (full day).
In 2026, a private Normandy day trip from Paris with PrivateDrive costs from €1 895 (full day, Mercedes E-Class sedan, up to 3 passengers) or €2 000 (V-Class van, up to 7 passengers). The S-Class premium sedan costs from €2 600. All prices are fixed and include the chauffeur for the entire day, all waiting time, and motorway tolls.
Yes. The V-Class van comfortably accommodates families of up to 7 with luggage. Child seats are available free of charge on request. For families with children, the D-Day beaches and Omaha Beach Memorial are educational and moving. Étretat and its cliffs are particularly scenic for families. The Caen Memorial Museum has child-friendly exhibits.
Étretat is approximately 2h30 from central Paris (200 km via the A13 and A29). A full-day booking gives you 5 to 6 hours at Étretat, enough to walk the famous cliffs (Falaise d’Aval and Falaise d’Amont), visit the gardens, and have lunch in the village. Étretat is one of the most photogenic destinations on the Normandy coast.
Yes. Honfleur is 1h50 from central Paris (200 km via the A13). It is one of the most charming port towns in France and can be combined with the Normandy Bridge (Pont de Normandie) or Étretat (1 hour further along the coast). A half-day in Honfleur is enough to walk the Vieux Bassin, visit the Eglise Sainte-Catherine, and have lunch at a quayside restaurant.
Yes. If you have an evening flight, your chauffeur can drive you directly from Normandy to CDG (approximately 2h30 from the D-Day beaches) or Orly (approximately 2h45). Specify your flight departure time at booking and your chauffeur will manage the schedule to ensure you arrive at the airport with sufficient time.
A private car gives you full control over your itinerary, timing, and pace. Guided tour buses follow a fixed schedule with shared stops and limited time at each site. For the D-Day beaches, where personal reflection time matters, a private car is strongly recommended. A private car also allows you to combine sites that no standard tour covers.
Yes, but it requires an early start. Mont Saint-Michel is 3h30 from Paris (370 km via the A11 or A13/A84). Departure by 6am from Paris allows 4 to 5 hours at Mont Saint-Michel (enough for the abbey, ramparts, and lunch) with return to Paris by 9pm. A full-day booking of 12+ hours is recommended. Your chauffeur drives the entire route and waits throughout your visit.
Not in a single day, the Loire Valley is southwest of Paris while Normandy is northwest, making a combined trip impractical in 10 to 12 hours. Each destination works best as a dedicated full-day trip. If you are spending multiple days in France, PrivateDrive can arrange multi-day itineraries combining Normandy and the Loire Valley with overnight stops.
