Mont Saint-Michel
7.8
4.8/5177 Reviews
Historic buildingsMountain climbing
Open today at 09:30-18:30
M39***74:“【Mont Saint-Michel: Paradise between Tides】
Standing in the Gulf of Normandy, Mont Saint-Michel is a perfect fusion of Catholic holy places and architectural wonders. As the tides rise and fall, this granite island sometimes becomes land and sometimes becomes an island, like a fantasy on the sea. The spire of the monastery on the top of the mountain points straight to the sky, and the Gothic cloisters and Romanesque foundations tell the epic of faith for thousands of years. The narrow stone alleys are filled with the aroma of butter biscuits, and pilgrims and tourists wait with bated breath in front of the tide schedule. A pearl on the World Heritage List, a must-visit "Western Wonder" in France, where history and nature dance in the interweaving of light and shadow.”
Abbaye de Mont-St-Michel

Night view
Open today at 09:00-19:00 (admission ends at 18:00)
中西南北东:“Mont Saint-Michel, France's "Sea Fairy Mountain", no wonder Jay Chou's album cover is set in the background of Mount Saint-Michel, which is known as the "eighth wonder of the world" and is the third largest holy site of Catholicism. Fort Saint-Michel and its bay were declared a World Heritage Site in 1979. The mysterious island of Fort Saint-Michel lies in a conical row of granite. Its bay of San Marlo is a tidal flat, and the tides constantly wash sediments ashore, making Fort Saint-Michel an island that only rises when the tide is high, which is mysterious.”
Honfleur

3.5/517 Reviews
Open year round, 24/7
噼里啪啦:“[Honfleur] A friend who went to school in Normandy recommended this place to me, and I found that it is really good. The season for traveling is very important. For a small town to have an atmosphere, there must be people outside. Therefore, winter is more suitable for staying at home. Of course Now, it’s suitable for southerners to stay in northerners’ homes.”
Omaha Beach

Beaches and shores
Please contact the attraction to confirm specific opening hours
JimmyLuMR:“Omaha Beach is the symbol of one of the four main landing sites of the Allied forces in the Normandy Campaign of World War II. Located on the northern coast of France and directly facing the beach of the English Channel, this area is 8 kilometers long. It begins in San Onorine de Peltei in the East and ends in Vieville in the west.”

M32***23:“If you want to feel small and insignificant, Milford Sound is the place for you. As you drive halfway along the Milford Road, these mountain giants tower over you and everywhere you go, you’ll see something spectacular. If you’re really lucky and get to go there, you must also take a cruise. Rain, hail, or shine, this place will take your breath away.”

L'Alcyone
4.6/5160 Reviews

Le Mascaret

Avg. JPY8,611/person
Open at 12:00 today
TheForkUser:“Quite the experience!Although our reservation via TheFork wasn't in their ledger, we were ushered into the expansive, opulent dining room without delay, to find just three tables. Niche dining, old style.There was a never-ending supply of home-baked bread, and we were served amuse-bouches quickly, explained in French. Fortunately, the main lady did speak good English (eventually).We chose 'Les Croquis de Blainville' menu at €58 each, selecting differing starters and desserts but concurring on the duck for main. The service throughout was superb, and the presentation of all dishes was exquisite, although with my basic French (my partner speaks not a word), the long-winded descriptions of everything passed us both by. The subtlety of the flavours combined with several aspects we didn't enjoy (I hate aniseed and the like) left us feeling underwhelmed, to be honest.At around €150, including a couple of glasses of wine, the price was incredible for a Michelin-starred establishment. Go!”
Restaurant la Pommeraie
4.2/555 Reviews
Open at 12:00 today
TheForkUser:“Best view if the lake from the table. Food was served very fast and tasty. Very friendly waitress. Definitely going back again.”
La Maison Bleue
4.6/5650 Reviews
Open at 12:00 today
TheForkUser:“Delicious food and very kind staff and water. He had a lot of work as many people.Just three points: no more mise en bouche as last time…. It’s a pity and no aperitif biscuits. It’s definitely missing when you take a drink before the meal,Two little half bread toasts for the foie gras (when you got 3 nice slices it’s definitely not enough and you need to eat baguette.”
Augusto Chez Laurent
4.7/593 Reviews
Open at 12:15 today
TheForkUser:“Had an excellent Sunday lunch at Augusto Chez Laurent. The food was wonderfully presented and very enjoyable. Service was attentive and friendly and the restaurant has a nicely relaxed ambiance. Definitely recommend and look forward to another visit in the future.”
Sospiro
4.2/568 Reviews
Open at 12:00 today
TheForkUser:“Nice place, gracious host, great food included a truffle pizza and appetizer, fantastic desserts and a dose of Calvados. Generous portions at a good price. Highly recommended for a nice and interesting meal.”
Au pied des marais
4.9/5183 Reviews
Open at 12:00 today
TheForkUser:“Had a great time at the restaurant, really pleased about the entire Normand dinner experience and hospitality. The meat was being grilled directly at the fireplace infront of you. Do try to arrive early as the tables infront of the fireplace are quite popular. Service was top-notch and friendly, I fully recommend this restaurant to anyone who passed by Cabourg.”
Cote Resto
4.5/5311 Reviews
Open at 12:00 today
TheForkUser:“We had an excellent meal at Cote Resto, which was our second visit. The food was delicious. The steak was perfect. The service was a bit slow at first but overall not an issue. The restaurant can be a bit loud but that's not unusual for the type of setting. *Stars rating based on restaurant category and price point.”
Le Balbec
4.7/555 Reviews
Open at 19:30 today
TheForkUser:“The food is really good, yet the staff's attitude was unpleasant. We were a group of 6 and 2 of our friends were running late. We were told they had to be there in max 20 minutes if not they couldn't order and that a gastronomic restaurant is like a train, either you hop on on time or you loose it. We also wanted the menu dégustation which was not possible because of the hour. It was not indicated anywhere (including their website) that for the menu dégustation we had to be there at a certain hour. A friend of mine who was with her 4 month old was told to hurry up eating cause they had to bring the next menu. We've been to several Michelin star restaurants and have never been treated like this. An overall sub par expérience”

Open at 12:30 today
TheForkUser:“We enjoyed our meal in the garden. We initially chose the restaurant because of the combination of dog friendly environment and good quality food. We were not disappointed with either. If you have some walking shoes with you there is also a great circular walk, mostly off road on forest tracts.”
Bistro La Boucane
4.4/554 Reviews
Open at 12:00 today
TheForkUser:“This restaurant is situated in beautiful surroundings. The staff were very welcoming and provided excellent service throughout our meal, explaining everything about our food and wine. Have eaten here twice, both times the menus give a good choice and the meals are exceptional.Would highly recommend a visit.”Lower Normandy Moments: Through Travelers' Eyes
