Normandy, France, is poised as one of the top travel destinations for 2024, according to Seth Sherwood of The New York Times. Celebrating its role in the Impressionist art movement, Normandy hosts the Normandy Impressionist Festival, tracing the footsteps of Impressionist masters amidst charming landscapes. Combine with picturesque landscapes, historic sites, and charming villages.

Rouen, whose cathedral was famously portrayed by Monet, will take center stage. Events there will include a lighted projection on the cathedral’s facade by the avant-garde stage director Robert Wilson and an exhibition of the painter David Hockney’s Normandy-inspired work at the city’s Musée des Beaux-Arts. Impressionist-themed exhibitions and events are also expected in Giverny (where Monet lived,) Honfleur (home to the Eugène Boudin Museum,) Le Havre, and other Normandy spots.
