Beaches of normandy Group Trip
Get ready to experience the
Beaches of Normandy
September 12 - 19, 2027
or
October 10 - 17, 2027
Two trips to choose from
Normandy is unlike anywhere else. It’s a place where the whispers of history meet rolling green countrysides and postcard worthy coastal views. On this trip, you’ll walk the sands of the D-Day beaches, pay your respects at the American Cemetery, and experience the moments that shaped our world.
But Normandy is so much more than its historic past. It offers colorful seaside towns, sunny orchards with French cider, historic cobblestone streets, delicious regional cuisine and the best local wine. You get to experience it all! This journey blends reflection, connection, and the joy of discovering a region full of life. It’s an experience you will carry with you forever. But space is limited so don’t wait!
Unforgettable Historic Adventure!
Get ready for powerful stories, quiet beaches, and the kind of beauty that takes you by surprise. 🇫🇷 Normandy isn’t a place you visit. It’s a place you feel. You’ll walk the sands of Omaha Beach, honor the heroes at the American Cemetery, and then step into a completely different side of Normandy: charming harbor towns, local markets overflowing with color, cozy cafés, and cliffside views. It’s the kind of trip that shifts something inside you in the best possible way.

What awaits you in Normandy
An unforgettable adventure in Normandy that’s designed just for YOU, our Today Is Someday community!
From the moment you touch down, you’ll be welcomed into an intimate small group, giving you the space for meaningful reflection on the Normandy beaches while making real connections, sharing laughs, and creating unforgettable memories together.
Hand Picked Stays
Good news you have two options!
We're offering this Normandy adventure on two different dates, with the exact same itinerary. The walks, sightseeing, experiences, meals, and memories we'll make together won't change.
What does change is where we'll be staying. Our September group will call Deauville home, while our October group will be based in Caen.
You may also notice a difference in price between the two dates. That's simply a reflection of the hotel accommodations and the month in which we're traveling (October is considered shoulder season). Everything else about the experience remains the same.
Both are wonderful locations and great places to come back to after a day of exploring. Take a look below and see which one feels like the perfect fit for your Normandy adventure with friends.
Group 1: September 12-19, 2027
HOTEL: Hôtel Barrière L'Hôtel du Golf
$5,450 p/p
Our home for the next seven nights is the beautiful Hôtel Barrière L'Hôtel du Golf, overlooking Deauville and the Normandy countryside. With peaceful views, elegant surroundings, and easy access to the coast, it's the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. Whether you're enjoying a morning coffee on the terrace or unwinding after a day exploring, this hotel offers a wonderful blend of comfort, scenery, and French charm.
Group 2: October 10-17, 2027
HOTEL: Best Western Plus Le Moderne
$4,970 p/p
Our home in Caen is the Best Western Plus Le Moderne, a comfortable and centrally located hotel that puts us right in the heart of the city. With shops, cafés, historic sites, and lively streets just steps away, it's the perfect base for exploring this fascinating region of Normandy. After a day of sightseeing, you'll appreciate returning to a welcoming hotel where everything you need is within easy walking distance.
FYI: We stayed here a few years ago. It’s was great!
