We drove backwards, along the Normandy coast, until Juno beach. There are many beaches (no comparisson with Hellenic beaches), small towns and momuments dedicated to the 2nd world war.

We continued to Deauville, a city famous for vacations and swimming during the previous century. There were many nice houses along the beach.

Almost side by side there is Trouville a nice fishing village, but very touristic destination. We just pass the town and continued to Honfleur, which is a nice port with old colour buildings. After a short walk in the town, we crossed the bridge of Normandy, over the Seine river. We continued to Etretat. The town is famous for the interesting coast and the strange rocks. We walked to the top of the rocks and admired the incredible view.

We spent 2 hours in the Etretat and then drove to Vernon, a small village on the Seine near Paris. We found a room for the night and had dinner in a restaurant last minute.
