+ Normandy & Opal Coast 2026 +

Autumn 2026 on the road along the French coast: seals resting on the sandbanks of the Opal Coast, endless beaches at low tide, the chalk cliffs of Étretat, a quiet moment at the American Cemetery above Omaha Beach – and finally Mont-Saint-Michel, at sunrise, at sunset and mirrored in the tidal flats.

Herbst 2026 unterwegs entlang der französischen Küste: Seehunde auf den Sandbänken der Opalküste, endlose Strände bei Ebbe, die Kreidefelsen von Étretat, ein stiller Moment auf dem amerikanischen Friedhof über Omaha Beach – und schließlich der Mont-Saint-Michel, bei Sonnenaufgang, bei Sonnenuntergang und gespiegelt im Watt.
