Rouen Rouen advice for art lovers, recs for budget meals, and what to do on All Saint's Day
Posted: Sat July 19, 2008 08:13 PM UTC
My husband I and plan to visit the cathedral in Rouen, as well the Musée des Beaux-Arts. One of our days in Rouen will coincide with the Nov. 1 All Saint's day holiday, and I'm wondering if any locals could recommend a holiday related event we could attend. We would like to visit the Plague Cemetery (Aître St. Maclou), but I am having a hard time telling if it will be open on the holiday. I've emailed the tourist office, and they sent nice brochures my way, but didn't reply to my questions about what will be open on the holidy.

I would love further advice for sights and activities in Rouen. We enjoy art and architecture, and classical music/opera. We won't be using a car, but we like to walk.

We also would like recommendations for low budget meals--we can picnic, too. Fixed priced menus are great, but must be under $15 euro.

Thanks in advance.

Giverny Giverny - famrers market and picnic spot
Posted: Thu June 12, 2008 01:36 AM UTC
I will be in Paris and plan to travel to Giverny this summer. Wondering: is the farmer's market in Vernon obvious & easy to find once disembarking from the train? And the picnic spot one write mentions - near Monet's house, near the bridge a restored mill and a park - do I need directions to this. I am planning to travel by train from Paris on a Monday or Tuesday. thanks

Rouen Quaint Lodging in Rouen & Bayeux
Posted: Fri June 6, 2008 09:52 PM UTC
We are traveling to Rouen at the end of August. We have 2 children (ages 7 & 9) and will be visiting the area for a day and then moving onto Bayeux to see the surrounding area, including Normandy beaches and WWII history with the kids. We'd like to stay close to the city, as we don't want to be in the car driving too much. Being the US dollar isn't worth much, we, Americans, are on a budget. Could anyone suggest a B&B or "homey" lodging for us in Rouen for a night and Bayeux for a night? Thanks!

Haute-Normandie Sky Sports
Posted: Wed May 14, 2008 12:04 PM UTC
I'm travelling from Boulogne-sur-Mer to a village just South of Caen at the end of this month. The problem is that is also the same day as the Rugby Union Premiership Final which I would really like to watch.

Does anyone know of a bar or restaurant anywhere in the area which subscibes to the UK Sky Sports Channels?

Saint-Valéry-en-Caux Train accident during WWII
Posted: Wed May 14, 2008 01:22 AM UTC
During WWII there was a train accident that destroyed the St-Valery-en-Caux depot. When it was rebuilt, there was a plaque commemorating that accident. I would like a digital photo of that plaque for my Brother-in-law. He was on the train that was involved in the wreck. Is there someone that I could contact for a photo?

Haute-Normandie Normandie versus Bretagne
Posted: Sun April 6, 2008 11:57 PM UTC
I have an ambitious 2 week plan to visit Normandy and Brittany. My impression is that Brittany has much more to offer and thought to concentrate my attention only on 2 things in Normandy : Le Mont St-Michel and Rouen. I am not interested in WW2 and hope that the coastal area of Brittany to be at least as interesting as the northern coast of Normandy. Did anybody visit both these areas ? I would be quite interested to hear your opinions. Thank you.

I am planning a possible trip to Rouen in April, spending 5 nights. Is it possible to reach the Normandy beaches & cemeteries without using a car? Is there a train or bus to the area from Rouen or Caen? I don't really want a guided tour, but if need be, I would use that. thanks

Rouen Question re Amiens, Rouen, and Chartres—which one as a 3 night trip with the others as day trips fro
Posted: Fri February 8, 2008 12:49 AM UTC
We plan to visit cathedral towns in April and are trying to decide which one to spend 3 nights in and which to do as day trips from Paris. We would like a town with a lovely medieval pedestrian area to wander around in for our lengthier visit, with our day trips primarily focused on the cathedrals themselves. My current thought is perhaps to do Rouen as the longer visit, with Chartres and Amiens as daytrips from Paris, but I’d appreciate any suggestions. Thank you. Carol

Haute-Normandie nice town for overnight stay?
Posted: Sat January 5, 2008 12:40 PM UTC
Dear VTers,

We are driving up from Spain and want to stay in a nice french town about 2 - 2.5 hrs away from Calais (getting channeltunnel next morning) where we can stop for the night for a nice meal and hotel. As we're coming from Bordeaux, anything west of Paris will be suitable. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated as i dont know the area at all.

Many thanks

When dining at a lovely little place along the path leading out of Monet's Home, we were served water in a lovely light blue bordeaux-type wine bottle. When empty the bottle looked like it still had water in it. Where can I purchase these bottles?

Haute-Normandie Flea Markets in the Normandy area?

Haute-Normandie Seeking chill beaches for mid-late July
Posted: Wed July 4, 2007 07:08 PM UTC
My partner and I will be in the Normandy area for about three days in mid-late July, and are looking for a nice beach to hang out and do very little at. We have absolutely zero interest in war memorials, but are interested in doing some side trips to other sites of cultural interest. We'd prefer to avoid the more expensive spots,and to have the option of camping somewhere nearby.

Any suggestions?

Haute-Normandie Strategic position
Posted: Thu June 7, 2007 01:01 PM UTC
Hi everyone,
I'll be in Normandie the 3rd week of July, I'll have my own car available for the holiday. Can anyone suggest me which are the more strategic places for the accommodation? I would like to easily reach: Rouen, Eu, Dieppe, Etretat, Fecamp, Honfleur, Deauville, Trouville Sur Mer, Caen, Bayeux. I was thinking about Honfleur as "barycentric" departure point. What do you think? Do you suggest me some other places that I can't miss?
Any suggestion will be appreciated!
Thank you very much in advance!
Cheers

Haute-Normandie Where to go and stay? Normandy
Posted: Sun May 6, 2007 02:29 AM UTC
Hello,

My bf and I are doing a tour of France and want to check out some of the historical sights of Normandy.

We're not sure where abouts to stay and if there are any bus tours or day trips available from Paris.

We are most interested in Rouen and some of teh D Day sites. We are under a time crunch a little so we can't really dedicate more than 2 days to the area.

What do you suggest we do and where can we find a comprehensive tour of the region.
