Paris is always a good idea and we recommend elevating your trip to the City of Lights by extending your stay and exploring the chic coastal towns of northern France. Soak up the grandeur of Paris before hopping over to the stylish seaside resorts of Deauville and Dinard to discover their art, Belle Époque architecture and crystal-clear seas.
If an itinerary that gracefully marries cultural immersion with serene coastal scenery is your kind of getaway, a multi-stop journey encompassing the three destinations while staying in elegant surroundings at Barrière's stylish hotels is the answer. Here's how to plan a three-stop sojourn to northern France...
Begin in Paris
Start your tour in the timeless heart of France, where world-class art collections, romantic spirit and the finest dining await. Discerning travellers in search of an urban retreat will adore Maison Barrière Vendôme, a discreet yet luxurious bolthole with only 26 rooms, suites and apartments. The hotel is a quiet sanctuary just moments from the Jardin des Tuileries and Louvre.
