Honfleur and the Pays d'Auge at Your Own Pace
We can't cover the full area of the Pays d'Auge, but we will customize the tour for you according to your interests. Honfleur is the only place that we can visit all year round. Meet your tour guide and visit Honfleur. The city of Honfleur is a place not to be missed. You will have the choice to stroll through the small fishing port of Honfleur, where many famous painters such as Turner, Boudin, and Monet succumbed to the charms of the city, or visit villages such as Beuvron-en-Auge and Cambremer, with half-timbered houses and thatched roofs nestled in the valleys, along with many churches, cemeteries, manors, stud farms, washhouses, and natural and medicinal springs, where hiking is very pleasant. You can also experience a typical market with a basket in hand early in the morning to discover authentic Norman products and recipes such as homemade caramel cream, salty or sweet pancakes, and artisanal sausages. This tour can be completed either with a visit to a cheese factory, a brandy distillery producing Calvados, or a cider farm. Other sites and activities that can be included are private gardens, local manors, churches, cemeteries, washhouses, medicinal springs, stud farms, hiking, local markets, cooking classes, and picnics. Next, move to the Pays d'Auge, which also has long sandy beaches and seaside resorts such as Deauville and Trouville, both founded in the 19th century and developed as a result of the fashion for sea bathing under Napoleon III. It is also the place of worship dedicated to Saint Theresa of Lisieux, which attracts thousands of pilgrims every year. In spring, the vast apple orchards are a must-see when their flowers bloom, and the countryside is dotted with half-timbered and thatched-roof houses and farms, as well as secret stud farms, often hidden behind a curtain of trees, where yearlings are raised for horse racing.
