Private Tour: Pays d'Auge Delights: Honfleur, Beuvron and Calvados Tasting from Caen
Set out from Caen on a private full-day journey through Normandy’s most charming towns, paired with a traditional Calvados tasting. With pickup from accommodations in Caen or the surrounding area, the experience unfolds at a relaxed pace alongside a knowledgeable local guide.
The day begins in Honfleur, a postcard-worthy port town on the Seine estuary. Travelers stroll the historic harbor, admire half-timbered houses reflected in the water, and visit landmarks such as Sainte-Catherine Church, uniquely built by shipwrights in the fifteenth century.
Next, discover Beuvron-en-Auge, officially recognized as one of France’s most beautiful villages. Its timber-frame homes, covered market, and pastoral setting capture the essence of the Pays d’Auge.
The experience concludes at a family-run estate for a guided tasting of locally produced Calvados, offering insight into Normandy’s apple-growing and distillation traditions before returning to Caen.
