Make the Most of Your Day in Port
Your cruise ship docks at Le Havre for the day. You have 8 to 10 hours. What do you do? With Marcel Tours, a private driver is waiting at the port when you disembark — and will have you back before your ship departs. No group bus, no shared tour, no risk of missing your departure.

Le Havre to Paris — Private Day Trip
Paris is 2 hours from Le Havre by car. A private driver can take you directly to the city, cover the highlights you want to see : Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, Montmartre, the Louvre area and return you to the port in time for departure. We monitor your ship schedule throughout the day.
The Eiffel Tower
The most recognized structure in the world looks different depending on the time of day and where you stand. Your driver knows the best viewpoints — the Trocadero esplanade at sunrise, the Champ de Mars for a picnic at midday, the Bir-Hakeim bridge for photographers.
The Louvre
Your driver drops you at the entrance — no parking, no walk from a distant lot. Whether you want one hour for the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo, or three hours for a deeper exploration of the collections, the timing is yours.
Le Marais
One of the best-preserved medieval districts in Paris. The Place des Vosges, the Jewish quarter, the Pompidou Centre nearby. Ideal for a leisurely walk and lunch.
Notre-Dame Cathedral
Reopened in December 2024 after five years of restoration following the 2019 fire, Notre-Dame is once again one of the most extraordinary Gothic structures in the world. A visit in 2025 and 2026 is witnessing history.
Montmartre
The artists' quarter, the Sacre-Coeur Basilica, the Place du Tertre. Best visited in the morning before the tourist crowds arrive. Your driver can navigate the narrow streets and wait while you explore.
Saint-Germain-des-Pres
The literary and intellectual heart of Paris. Cafes where Sartre and Hemingway worked. Boutiques, galleries, and the finest pastry shops in the city.
2 hours from Le Havre
Le Havre to Normandy D-Day Beaches
For American passengers, this is the most powerful option. Le Havre is less than 90 minutes from Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer. Spend your day in Normandy, the beaches, Bayeux, Pointe du Hoc and return to the port by early evening.
Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery
The most emotional stop in Normandy. Stand on the very sand where American soldiers landed under fire on June 6, 1944 : then walk up to the cemetery where over 9,000 of them now rest, row upon row of white crosses overlooking the sea.
The beaches, Bayeux, Pointe du Hoc
Walk the sands of Omaha Beach, stand at the dramatic cliffs of Pointe du Hoc, and explore the charming liberated town of Bayeux — all in one unforgettable day steeped in history, sacrifice, and remembrance.
