I’m very excited because this will be our FIRST weekend getaway on You Choose My Adventure. I have been to France a handful of times, but I have only seen Paris. And as much as I love it here and the person I am staying with, I want to see something new. Of course, I will be taking you along with me. And I have two brilliant getaways for us to explore together. Normandy or Cassis!
Choice 1: Normandy
Normandy is just a bit west of Paris. It is beautiful, it’s historic, and there’s a freaking castle that looks like it’s out of a Disney Princess movie. This area of France is perhaps best known for the Battle of Normandy, also known as D-Day. I will take you along the beaches that were stormed by the troupes and share a bit of this rich history that eventually stopped the Nazis from power.
I will also explore the beautiful castles, the white Etretat Cliffs, and see what this famous providence of France has to offer. I was told the weather is a little unpredictable, but I think it will be worth the risk. There is so much to see and do here that I don’t think we will be disappointed.
Choice 2: Cassis
Heading a bit south, we will come to Cassis. Know for its breathtaking beaches, fabulous hikes along the cliffs, and perfect ports, this is a dream vacation for those who want to live on the sea. With amazing shops and food, Cassis is not to be missed. At least that’s what I was told by one of the French locals at dinner.
While it is a little on the expensive side, I would like to take you here and show you how this cheap traveler made the best of it. This is an excellent chance to play with my GoPro and perhaps try snorkeling for the first time. The blue waters and pebble beaches are not to be missed in this little slice of the South of France.
Where Should We Go Next? Normandy or Cassis?
Sound off below, and let me know which one of these weekend getaways you would like to know more about. They both sound great to me. History or holiday? Honestly, I am good with either, and I am excited to see where you send me next. Because it’s not just my adventure, it’s OUR adventure.

It won’t let me vote! Not sure when you’re planning to head to one of these two places, but I haven’t been to Cassis yet–so would love to see it! That’s my vote. 🙂

That is strange. I had this problem in the very beginning, but I have a little notebook to keep track of my daily adventures votes I do on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to keep a tally of all those as well, so I will put a note in there as a reminder 😉 I am trying to find a better polling site, as I’m not thrilled with the current one anyway.

Maybe we can go to Cassis next year. It looks beautiful.
