Historic Normandy and authentic Brittany

Impressive history and culinary delight


On this tour, visit the desolate beaches where the Americans landed in 1944. After all these years, they still make an indelible impression because they show the devastating history of Normandy. However, this impressive region in France is also home to a rugged coastal landscape, attractive towns such as Honfleur and Deauville and a delicious cuisine with unique products such as cider and calvados. Also enjoy excellent cheeses like the famous Camembert. Get to know the Celtic roots of Breton culture on a visit to the charming streets of the Concarneau fortress and meet a traditional oyster farmer. To complete the experience, we invite you on a gastronomic cruise through Saint Malo Baai. Where the world can't find you.
