Use the route as a choice framework
Confirm transport, timed visits and opening before adopting a sequence. The longer examples move toward Lyon, Provence and the Riviera; Normandy, Brittany, Bordeaux and Chamonix can each be a separate regional alternative.
Bayeux’s closed Tapestry museum is not an admission stop in these routes. Outdoor and bay or mountain activities require their own current checks. Leave room for a local meal, sheltered visit or rest when conditions change.
