The only private excursion from Honfleur and Le Havre combining Lisieux's 12th-century Gothic Cathedral — where Sainte-Thérèse attended mass as a girl and where the judge who condemned Joan of Arc is buried — with Honfleur's medieval harbor, where Impressionism was born on the quay of the Vieux Bassin.

Two extraordinary chapters of Normandy in one bucket list day.
