Discover the Charming Town of Honfleur
Delight in a private guided walking tour of Honfleur, uncovering its significant landmarks and embracing the allure of this charming French town. Nestled on the Seine Estuary near Le Havre and the magnificent Pont de Normandie bridge, Honfleur showcases a historic center and a picturesque vieux bassin port and marina.
Wander through the town's historical center, where you'll encounter stunning half-timbered houses and ancient cobblestone streets that wind around the magnificent Sainte Catherine Church. The church itself is a remarkable sight with its double wooden roof, a rarity among architectural wonders.
Built by skilled shipbuilders in the 15th century, the church's vaulting resembles the graceful hulls of ships. Honfleur is also home to renowned museums, including the Eugene Boudin Museum dedicated to the 19th-century painter who hails from Honfleur. Located on Erik Satie Square, the museum boasts over 100 artworks by Boudin, as well as paintings by Courbet, Monet, Lebourg, Dufy, and many other esteemed artists.
Explore One of France's Most Beautiful Villages
Following your visit to Honfleur, you'll have time for personal discovery and a delightful lunch. Next, our private tour will lead you to the picturesque village of Beuvron en Auge, rated as one of the most beautiful villages in France. It epitomizes the quintessential Normandy village, nestled in the scenic Pays d'Auge region.
As the stronghold of the d'Harcourt family and a stop along the Cider and Calvados trails, Beuvron en Auge exudes charm with its half-timbered houses, ancient covered market, and surrounding manor houses. Take your time to leisurely stroll through the village, savoring the authentic ambiance and capturing memorable moments.
Conclude with a Guided Tasting of Apple Brandy
To conclude your day, we'll visit a local Calvados distillery nestled in the heart of the Pays d'Auge. This esteemed family-owned estate produces some of Normandy's most renowned Cider, Calvados, and Pommeau. Spanning 30 hectares of orchards, the estate cultivates over 25 apple varieties, including standard and cordons trees.
With over a century of expertise, the family has garnered international recognition for their exquisite art of blending. After a brief introduction to their range of products, indulge in a guided tasting of their exceptional spirits (tasting fees not included), savoring the intricate flavors and nuances. After the tasting, we'll commence the journey back to Bayeux, concluding our services.
