Last Updated on August 5, by Laura. Amiens, Bayeux, Rouen. While last year, we ventured out for a Netherlands by bike adventure. This year castles, galettes and medieval villages were what we dreamed about. In this blog, you will discover an epic Northern France 10 day itinerary. I will take you mostly through Brittany and Normandie with also some lovely stop points in Picardie and Oise departments.
Allons y! Planning a road trip to Northern France requires some time and dedication. Or, it gives you the opportunity to experience another destination, even if briefly.
The planner above, is the general one I used together with my Google map to figure it out my main visits and base camps. According to the length of your trip 7 days, 10 days, 2 weeks? With the help of google, check if these places are close to each other so you can use a same base camp for more than one place. Or they are far enough to require a change of base for the night.
As one that wants to see literally everything is possible to see. I always overload my own itineraries and end up skipping something! If you have five days, plan for destinations and so on. I missed a few attractions here and there and completely missed out one of the stops, Rennes.
We realised the city was too big for just a stop and it was better to check it properly on another trip. I use this method for all my road trips and it never fails to get me where I want to go, in the time-frame I want to respect. First, Google maps is my best friend. All my trips start and end with Google maps. Here I research all the locations, distances, restaurants, hotels etc.
