Normandy châteaux in 2 days
2 days · 6 châteaux · 238 km
Caen to the Cotentin, six stops between ducal fortresses and manor houses.
Normandy is the land of the dukes who became kings of England, and its fortresses say so: massive, military, and often older than anything you visit in the Loire. Two days to cover the essentials between Caen and the Cotentin.

The stops on the following days. The full plan, with distances, goes out by email.
The order of stops is chained nearest-first from the starting town, and distances are as the crow flies — allow a third more by road. Only châteaux whose opening to the public we know are included.
