Experience the charm of Normandy on a full-day small-group tour from Bayeux, combining a guided visit of Honfleur, a stop in one of France’s most beautiful villages and a Calvados tasting in the Pays d’Auge.
Pick-Up from Your Accommodation in Bayeux
Begin with convenient pick-up from your hotel or rental in Bayeux or nearby. Meet your English-speaking driver-guide, review the day’s itinerary and settle into a comfortable air-conditioned minivan for the drive towards the Seine estuary.
Guided Walking Tour of Honfleur
Enjoy a guided walking tour of Honfleur, a colourful harbour town set on the Seine estuary near the Pont de Normandie. Stroll the Vieux Bassin, admire rows of tall, narrow houses and discover the historic streets around Sainte-Catherine Church.
Honfleur’s Heritage, Church and Museums
See Sainte-Catherine Church, France’s largest wooden church, built by shipwrights with a double wooden nave that recalls an upturned boat hull. Learn about Honfleur’s artistic past and its Eugène Boudin Museum, which showcases works by Boudin and other Normandy painters.
Free Time and Lunch in Honfleur
After the guided walk, enjoy free time for lunch at your own expense and personal discovery. Browse boutiques, art galleries and cafés around the old harbour before rejoining your guide.
Beuvron-en-Auge: One of France’s Most Beautiful Villages
Continue into the rolling countryside of the Pays d’Auge to reach Beuvron-en-Auge, listed among “Les Plus Beaux Villages de France”. Wander its half-timbered houses, old covered market and manor houses that capture the essence of rural Normandy.
Calvados Distillery Visit and Tasting
Visit a family-run Calvados estate set among apple orchards, where more than 25 varieties of apples are grown for cider, Calvados and Pommeau. Learn about the production and ageing of Normandy’s famous apple brandy and enjoy a guided tasting of several spirits (tasting fees as per tour conditions).
Return to Bayeux
At the end of the afternoon, relax on the drive back to Bayeux as your guide drops you at your accommodation, concluding a day filled with seaside charm, village life and Normandy flavours.
