Capture the Soul of Northern France: Normandy & Brittany
Join me on this incredible journey through two of France’s most stunning regions, Normandy and Brittany. This photography tour is designed to take you beyond the postcards, placing you in the perfect light to capture the raw beauty, dramatic history, and timeless charm of the Atlantic coast.
From the ethereal, mist-shrouded spires of Mont Saint-Michel to towering lighthouses and the windswept shores of Brittany. We’ll explore the rugged "land’s end," where pink granite cliffs meet emerald seas and ancient stone villages feel frozen in time.
Whether you are looking to sharpen your technical skills or simply immerse yourself in a breathtaking environment, this tour offers a curated blend of iconic landmarks and hidden gems. Join us to refine your eye, expand your portfolio, and experience the rugged elegance of Northern France.
This tour covers a large area, so we will be changing hotels frequently to be based close to our sunrise location for the following morning. Each hotel was carefully selected based on the level of comfort, and it‘s proximity to the spots we will be shooting, enabling us to reach all shooting locations quickly and use the fast-changing weather to our advantage.

Whilst they sit side-by-side on the North-West coast of France, Normandy and Brittany are distinct sisters with very different personalities. Normandy is defined by its lush, "civilized" countryside and weight of history, while Brittany is a rugged, wild peninsula rooted in ancient Celtic mystery.
Normandy feels like a classic French pastoral dream—think rolling green meadows, half-timbered houses, and wandering cows. Brittany (or Bretagne) is France’s "Land’s End." It is a rugged, seafaring region where the culture is more closely related to Wales and Cornwall than to Paris.
