Embark on a private full-day journey into the heart of rural Normandy and discover the authentic charm of the Pays d’Auge, a region known for its half-timbered villages, lush pastures, apple orchards, and centuries-old culinary traditions.
Your day begins with pickup directly at your cruise ship in Le Havre or at your preferred location (for example : Honfleur, Deauville, Caen, Bayeux).
Enjoy a scenic drive through the Norman countryside before reaching Livarot, where you will visit a traditional cheese factory. Learn how iconic Norman cheeses such as Livarot and Pont-l’Évêque are crafted, and watch local artisans at work.
Continue through the rolling bocage landscape, passing orchards and the region’s famous Norman cows, before arriving in Beuvron-en-Auge, listed among the “Most Beautiful Villages of France.” Stroll through its postcard-perfect streets, admire its half-timbered houses, and soak in its unique atmosphere.
After lunch in a local restaurant, discover another emblematic Norman tradition: Calvados. Visit a family-owned distillery, learn about the production process from apple to bottle, explore the cellars, and enjoy a guided tasting of Calvados, Pommeau, or cider.
The tour then continues to the picturesque port of Honfleur for a self-guided visit. Wander through the historic streets, admire the Old Harbour, and take time to shop for local products or simply enjoy the ambiance of this charming maritime village.
After this immersive journey through Normandy’s flavours, landscapes, and heritage, you will be driven back to Le Havre or your original pickup point in comfort.
