Overall, a trip to Normandy is recommendation from our team, however, renting a car will help you greatly on the road even tho France is well connected with their TGV trains. However for tours of beaches in Normandy, we ourselves would recommend very convenient bus services. Additionally, hotels in Normandy are overall quite affordable even in the Summer and Spring season, and in return offer a great value of a luxury stay. That said, book your stay and enjoy an epic French escape with your friends and family. If you have any additional Normandy tips, do share with us in the comments.
what a great list, i visited la ferme saint simeon spa! It is amazing!
luxurious hotels in normandy are so not easy to find, many will advertise that they are but they are not. You can get some really nice small luxury villas, some with staff some not, I vacationed a lot in Normandy with my friends. Ferme de la Rançonnière you mentioned above is gorgeous, the photo you chose does no justice!
I too love it it’s really depends on this time of the year when you are going to Normandy and yeah go for the smaller hotel ❤️❤️
Definitely do not go in the winter, I am not sure even some of these smaller boutique hotels are open in the winter in Normandie.
but not all are really luxury some are just glorified Airbnb I see that as a very good liar, I travel to Normandy a lot and I love the selection you made. but ive only been to villa Lara from the list
