Highlights
Immerse yourself in Normandy's typical landscapes, superb historical and culinary heritage in a district called Pays d'Auge. You will enjoy the colourful lanscapes of green and humid meadows where cows graze to produce the best Norman cream, butter and cheeses. In spring, the vast apple orchards must be seen when their flowers bloom and the countryside is dotted with half-timbered and thatched-roof houses and farms, and secret stud farms, often hidden by a curtain of trees raise their yearlings for horse-racings. The Pays d'Auge also has long sandy beaches and seaside resorts such as Deauville and Trouville, both founded in the 19th century, which 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.

Itinerary
The Pays d'Auge is a vast territory and we will not be able to cover all the places. The city of Honfleur is a place not to be missed all year round. You will have the choice to stroll through the small fishing port of Honfleur where many famous painters such as Turner, Boudin, Monet have succumbed to the charms of the city or some villages (Beuvron-en-Auge, Cambremer) with half-timbered houses and thatched roofs nestled in the valleys with many churches, cemeteries, manors, stud-farms, wash-houses, natural and medical 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 receipes such as homemade caramel cream, salty or sweet pancakes « crepes », artisanal sausages … This tour can be completed either with a visit of a cheese factory or with a brandy distillery "Calvados" or a cider farm. We will have 3 hours of transportation within the Tour.

About Caen
Caen, in Normandy, is the city of William the Conqueror, with two great abbeys, a hilltop castle and the D-Day beaches within easy reach.
Caen sits on the Orne in Lower Normandy, and William the Conqueror made it a base in the 11th century, building the castle that still dominates the old centre. He is buried in the Abbaye aux Hommes, and his wife Matilda in the Abbaye aux Dames, two Romanesque abbeys on opposite sides of the centre. Much of the city was destroyed in the Battle of Normandy in 1944 and rebuilt in pale Caen stone.
