I'm Scottish. My father was a French teacher and we travelled to France every summer growing up. I visited Mont St. Michel aged 12/13. Things must have changed as we drove over the causeway and drove on to Mont St. michel. This was not the first causeway I visited. The first causeway I visited was in England just over the Scottish borders in the area called Lindisfarne or Holy Isle in Northumberland. I live 15 minutes from Loch Lomond so love seeing other places with lots of lochs, lakes or mountains.
That’s awesome you went to Mont Saint Michel, I wonder how much it has changed since you last went. I just looked up Lindisfarne, I really want to give it a visit!
I thoroughly loved your authentic take on your top 10 of Normandy. It would be awesome if you did a video that documents the mileage to these destinations from your hotel in Normandy and why you chose the place to stay in Normandy? Thank you.
One of the best travel channels on RUclips, I love watching your videos. The quality and variety of content is unmatched! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us and always giving us ideas of new places to visit
Awesome video Ryan! Such a historic part of France. Mont Saint Michel is truly a wonder of the world! Never knew there was so many cool lighthouses in Normandy as well
Wonderful to re-live some of these places, as I was just in Normandy in October. We stayed in Honfleur and Barneville-Carteret, then went on to Brittany. Did a lot of cliffside walks, including Etretat. Wonderful!
Awesome video. Great shots and info. Thanks so much for sharing this. Its so good to see refreshing scenery and signs of peacefulness in these trying times.
Great selection. There are a few place where I haven't been, it gives me some ideas. The American cemetery in Colleville is truly amazing, huge, immaculate. I will add Bayeux to this list, and the fantastic Memorial in Caen, one of the best museum about WWII.
I didn't get a notification about this new post so I'm glad I just checked RUclips out this morning. You could easily do a part two. Normandy is absolutely full of wonderful things to see and it's all in a fairly compact area. I love Norman villages with all their half-timbered buildings. Rouen has a world famous cathedral worth seeing. I know you like castles and Richard the Lionheart's Chateau Gaillard is a huge castle on a promontory above the Seine. The Bayeux Tapestry was made just ten years after William the Conqueror's victory and tells the story in woven pictures. Jump to the 19th century and there's Monet's garden in Giverny with its water lilies that;s between Normandy and Paris. I do agree about the magic of Mont St.-Michel. Merry christmas Happy new Year and all that and another year of great trips.
Thanks so much John! I’m always amazed by your knowledge of the history and geography of the places I feature. I need to visit the Bayeaux Tapestry and Giverny for part 2! Hope you have a great December as well.
@@RyanShirley The Bayeux Tapestry is wonderful, like a medieval comic strip. Since folks were mostly illiterate, what better way to tell the story of the Battle of Hastings? 70 meters long!!
Congrats Ryan, perfect images and editing as usual. I consider going Normandy this Spring. The attack on Point du Hoc was commanded by a Texan named James E. Rudder who graduated and later presided Texas A&M University. As a French exchange student there in 2005, I remember that Rudder had his statue on campus. I don't know how they could climb this cliff with ropes under German fire.
Thanks so much Alain! I’m excited for your to visit Normandy. I didn’t know that about James Rudder. It is just wild to think about them scaling they cliff! Such incredible history.
We went in 2019. That was amazing to visit. We were there the week after the 75th anniversary- there were flowers left at every memorial. We don’t do tours but made the exception for this - the guides are so knowledgeable and usually one or 2 stops on private land that otherwise we wouldn’t have access too - it was worth the cost!
Thanks Ryan for sharing your wonderful trip to Normandy! What I really love from your channel is the diversity of the places you visited around the world and you showcase the amazing nature that this world has! Great job 👍 Warm greetings from Flores 🇮🇩
Ryan I love your cinematic video s and how you describe those beautiful places 💟 Literally magical don't concentrate on views and all your content is such a gem 💎 for me and all Love from India 🤗 🇮🇳🤜🤛
One more question Ryan have you ever been to India ?? If no then please try 🙏 I bet you will be definitely fall in love with Indian cuisine and the art and history of country .............🇮🇳 In India you will contact with every. Landscape 🌆 here from that desert 🏜️ in west to magnificent forest of East , from Himalayan mountain 🏔️ in North to sandy beaches of South Please notify when you will come to India 🌺.
6:17 i used to go to swim there (my parents live 5 kms away), really good mood and landscapes, you should have mentionned the "mico" region (la Hague) instead of the beach, because the whole "micro" region is beautiful, nice video !
Warmest holiday wishes! Your travel guide vlogs are my go-to for travel inspiration, and your passion for exploration is truly heartwarming. On another note, have you seen the new v4 Bento Bag and the Ikigai Backpack from NomadLane? They could be perfect for your adventures.
On June 6 2024, the international ceremony marking the 80th Anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy would take place on Omaha Beach, Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer, on the American sector.
@@RyanShirley I like all your content. I think the answer Is: wherever You like. I know Provenza in France Is beautiful ( Nimes, Arles, castles...), south Germany, Portugal and its nature too. But if you already saw Hallstatt what can I say... Thank you for sharing
This is definitely going on bucket list Ryan , how many days you stayed in normandy to see all these places? How many days do u suggest if one has to explore at a leisure pace?
The history and natural beauty of Normandy is unmatched 🇫🇷🏰🐑
I am living in Rouen, Normandy. So glad to see such a vibrant hommage to my beloved county.Thanks.
You’re from such a incredible place! So happy you enjoyed the video.
Normandy looks unreal 🤩

Ryan , how many days you stayed in normandy to see all these places?
How many days do u suggest if one has to explore at a leisure pace?
I was there for about a week! I recommend going for that time or longer
Wow great video. I'm thinking of going next week. How did you get around around though? Did you rent a car?
I recommend renting a car, that’s how we got around

Great idea Bill! Might not be able to make top 50 but I’ll make one for 2024 ☺️🎥🌎
How many days did this trip take you? I love Normandy and would love to travel to each location.
I’d say you’d want at least a week, maybe longer if you want to visit at a slower pace
